Answer / sumanth toom

hmmm..depends how you want to use that variable.
9(5).99 is an edited field. Probably used for printing or
reporting purposes.

Otherewise, 9(5)V99 can be used.

Hello Sumanath and Rajesh

No declaring 9(5)V99 / 9(5)v9(2) comp-3 this way was
not working. I tried this also.

For Example: if the input is 123.45 from flat file
and 1. If I declare 01 W-var pic 9(5)V99
then value of W-var will be 123 45 (It assumed space at
place of decimal) and the same value 123 45 it tried to
moved in the db2 table host varible. which in turn throw
SOC7.
