Hi All,
I have a 4 btye COMP data, which i want to store it on the IMSDC screen as a 2 byte field. I have moved the required data into a working storage field and redefined the same into a 2 byte Alphanumeric data.
When I display for the data storage before the ISRT message call, the values displayed are correct. But on the screen the data stored in the FIRST BYTE is spaces.

Please could anybody let me know reason why i am not able to store COMP data on the screen?.

Regards,
Lokesh

lokesh_taks,

Did you know that both COMP & COMP-3 data are not visible to the eye. you need to set HEX on to view the data. why would you even want to do that on a screen ? How would the user the know what data he is looking as he cannot issue a HEX on a IMS DC screen

Kolusu,
I storing the data on the screen in a NODISP attribute set on the field. USER will not be using the field. I am storing the data on the screen, so that i can use the data for my next transaction processing.
I know we can interpret the COMP & COMP-3 data only in HEX mode. But my concerns is , when I move the COMP data to a 2 byte screen field which as NODISP attribute set, the first byte as spaces at all cases.
But when i move a ALPHANUMERIC data like "AB" into the same field, the data is correctly stored and given back to the program.

Please could you let me know the reason and any solution for the same
