Answer / paray2x

Most of the modern compilers support upto 31 digits. Try
compiling your program and you'll be able to find out.

Else, if your requirement is only to store and not do any
computation, you can have a group variable.

05 My-number.
10 My-number-part1 pic 9(15).
10 My-number-part2 pic 9(5).
