Search results
When a COMP-5 item is referenced, the full binary field size is used in the operation. The *NOSTDTRUNC compiler option or the NOSTDTRUNC PROCESS option causes BINARY data items (USAGE BINARY, COMP-4) to be handled as if they were declared USAGE COMP-5.

23 lut 2017 · I am trying to understand how the COBOL variables with COMP Usage clause stores values. I tried one example as below 01 VAR14 PIC S9(5) USAGE COMP. MOVE 12345 TO VAR14 D...
A computational item is a value used in arithmetic operations. It must be numeric. If a group item is described with a computational usage, the elementary items within the group have that usage. The maximum length of a computational item is 18 decimal digits, except for a PACKED-DECIMAL item.
The SEARCH statement searches a table for an element that satisfies the specified condition and adjusts the associated index to indicate that element.
Computational items refer to data items used for arithmetic calculations. These items are typically defined with the USAGE clause to specify their internal representation. The USAGE clause explains how data is stored in memory and how the calculations are performed on that data.
COBOL - SEARCH Statement. SEARCH is a serial search, which is used to find elements inside the table. It can be used for both sorted and unsorted data inside the table. The table needs to be defined with an index pharse.
A data item whose usage is MONITOR-POINTER, MUTEX-POINTER, or SEMAPHORE-POINTER can be referenced explicitly only in a CLOSE statement, an OPEN statement, a SET statement or a USING phrase.
