Answer / kiro

When COBOL does a divide it uses the format of the item
which in this case is integer only that is why the
fractional part is missing. You need to move the value
19446 to a 9(5)v99 item first and then do the divide using
the 9(5)v99 item.

Answer / vaneesh

To make this we require to use redefines.

01 ws-value-change
05 WS-ALPHANUMERIC PIC X(5).
05 WS-NUMERIC REDEFINES WS-ALPHANUMERIC PIC 9(3)
V99.
011 WS-EDITED-NUMERIC PIC 9(3).99.

PROCEDURE DIVISION

MOVE '19446' TO WS-ALPHANUMERIC
MOVE WS-NUMERIC TO WS-EDITED-NUMERIC
DISPLAY WS-EDITED-NUMERIC

STOP RUN

You will get the value as 194.46
