How to define variable 9(20) in COBOL, because compiler
does not allow us to declare variables with Pic 9(18). Can
anyone please let me know the answer... I know one answer
to this question which is to use Compiler option Arith
(Extend) during Compilation. It extends the maximum limit
to 9(32)..Just wanted to know if there is any other way to
extend this?

Answer Posted / dimpy19
try with this:
01 VARIABLE-ABC.
03 VAR-1 PIC 9(18).
03 VAR-2 PIC 9(2).
or
use PROCESS ARITH(EXTEND) before IDENTIFICATION DIVISION
ARITH option syntax
.-COMPAT-.
>>-ARITH(-+-EXTEND-+-)-----------------------------------------><
When you specify ARITH(EXTEND):
The maximum number of digit positions that you can specify in the PICTURE clause for packed-decimal, external-decimal, and numeric-edited data items is raised from 18 to 31.
