Answer / shinoy sansilavose

it occupies one additional byte when it is specified with
signed variable declaration.

Example:

01 ws-num pic s9(04) sign trailing separate.

move '+1234' to ws-num
then the value will be stored as +1234.

how many bytes does a s9(12)COMP-4 field occupy?? a.2 b.4 c.8 d.1 ans with reason please
