Vamsi, u r wrong, you have to read the 2nd answer again...
we can't perform any numeric operations on arithmetic field
thats right for overcome that scenario only we are using
the method called redefine. when you redefine its pointing
to the same loacation only but just telling the MVS
consider the new picture clause for the new variable..one
thing is sure here which is nothing but truncation when you
try to move x(...) to comp-3 but we can perform arithmetic
operations for sure..you can try it out....
