Answer / rama krishna
It will be stored as follows:
01 23 4C
This is only internal storage representation. But if you
display the variable then you will see 1234 not even '+'.

Answer / suputhru
9(4) comp-3 takes 3 byets
each digit takes half byte.
-- -- -- 3bytes
numeric alignment is right to left <-----
first sign will store in half byte right. right.

4c

In COBOL CALL-CALLING,if a program A is calling 3 sub- programs, dynamically, then it is said sub-programs will always will always in Initial Mode. My question is : Do we need to code CANCEL or (IS INITIAL) for dynamically called sub-programs or it is the property of Dynamically called pgms so every time sub-pgms are called they will be in initial mode. ***This question is only Dynamic call****, Please reply.
