Answer / craig
You can display them, but they will appear non-numeric.
Move the field to a WS field defined as pic +9('number of
digits') and display the WS field to make the data user-
friendly.

Answer / vivekananda
We can't display COMP-3 directly so we have to move the value into another variable, check this given example.
01 A1 PIC S9(4) COMP-3 VALUE 1234.
01 A1-NUM PIC S9(4) VALUE ZEROES.
01 B1 PIC X(4).
MOVE A1 TO A1-NUM.
MOVE A1-NUM TO B1.
DISPLAY B1.

Answer / narayana g
You can display the COMP-3 variable by redefining to numeric
variable.

Answer / antony
We will get the actual value of the variable, so we need to
either redefine or move that to an equivalent numeric
variable to display it.
