01 x pic s9(8) comp.
How will the following value be internally allocated
'18787'

Answer Posted / kapil arya

Basically Comp Makes the word boundary.
(0 - 4) 2 Bytes (Half Word boundary)
(5-9) 4 Bytes (Full Word Boundary)
(10-18) 8 byte Double word Boundary

Because it is s9(8) Comp..
So I will take 4 byte to store the date.
And it will allocated like:
01 87 87 , will store in 3 byte and one byte will be free
or unused..

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
