s9(7)comp3

n=7 , (n+1)/2 = (7+1)/2 = 4.

4 bytes will be allocated for this numeric data item.

since comp3 is a packed decimal representation, each byte
can hold 2 data items. which means it 4 bytes can occupy 8

s9(4)comp3 will have 4bytes allocated & can hold 7 data
item and 1 sign digit in it.
