I have a field like 03 ws-var1 Pic s9(11)v9(2) sign trailing separate.
In the op file the value gets displayed as 00000002999200+
But I want it to be displayed as 29992.00. What definition has to be made in COBOL to so tht I get this desired result.
| PICTURE | Result | Length | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| +9(11).9(2) | +00000029992.00 | 15 | The sign + or - will be shown |
| -9(11).9(2) | 00000029992.00 | 15 | The - will show only if the value is negative |
| +(11)9.9(2) | +29992.00 | 15 | The sign + or - will be shown |
| -(11)9.9(2) | 29992.00 | 15 | The - will show only if the value is negative |
| Z(10)9.9(2) | 29992.00 | 14 | The sign is removed. |
In each case spaces will be present before each result if the number of characters shown is less the the length of the field.
