BY USING COMPILER OPTION MATH, IT WILL INCREASE THE VARIABLE CAPACITY UP TO 31 DIGITS.

Answer / muttaiah
The default is 18..which means the compiler option will be
Arith(compat)..
If you change the compiler option to Arith(extend) you can
use max 31 digits..
This is one of the famous interview question now a days.
Say i want to declare a variable with PIC 9(20) is it
possible?
People who doesn't know Arith(extend) compiler option they
will say it's not possible to declare a variable with PIC 9
(20) keeping 18 digits in mind. This is how it is.

Hai friends why we need to read a file before re-write a record?
I have a sequential file. How do I access a record in this sequential file randomly in my program ?
what is rediffine clause?in what situation it can use?give me real time example?
What is report-item in COBOL?
input:- A 10 20 30 40 B 5 7 10 14 C 8 12 14 16.... output:- A = 100,B=36,C=50. Here spaces are considered between numbers. When we give input as above, the numbers should be added n displayed.So please help me out.
I have 100 records in a file.. i want to sort the records from 5 to 5o... give the syntax...
01rec1. 05 a pic 999v99 value 123.12 05 b pic 99v9 value 45.9 02 rec2. 05 x pic 999v99 05 y pic 99v99 05 z pic x(3) value 'abc' if rec1 is moved to rec2 then what is the value of rec2?
If there are two files one with 100 records and other with 101 records. we have to find out the one record that is the odd man out . What are the steps to do it
input:-AABBCCDDEFGHIIJ output:- ABCDEFGHIJ Here in input we hav the duplicate characters i.e repeating characters.SO we should eliminate the duplicate characters and should display the output in ascending order.
study the following 01 A PIC 99V0 VALUE 5 01 B PIC 9V9 VALUE 6 01 C PIC 99V9 VALUE 2.5 01 D PIC 99 VALUE 3 COMPUTE A ROUNDED B C = A+B*C/D ON SIZE ERROR PERFORM PRINT-ERROR the comments of A.B.C after execution of the above statement are a.A=10 B=0 C=10 b.A=10 B=9.9 C=9.9 c.A=10 B=0 C=9.9 d.A=10 B=6 C=10
