x'00000000000000000000000000000C' is equal to it.
What do you mean?

OK - to be a bit kinder...you have a COBOL (I assume) variable declaration here declaring a variable with an initial VALUE of x'...... Look in the manual for the various ways of representing data. Also, the variable name gives a clue.

as nic said, RTFM.

the above is a HEX literal, whereas
| Quote: | | 03 CN-PACK0 PIC X(15) VALUE X'00000000000000000000000000000C'. |
is a COBOL alphanumeric field initialized with a HEX value.
so, if they were to be compared, they would be equal.
one is a initialized variable and the other is a literal, so they are not the same; although they contain the same value.
question is poorly worded.

culturewyj,
The variable will have Packed Decimal(comp-3) value of 0 (zero).

another way to code the same value:
03 CN-PACK0.
05 PIC S9(15) PACKED-DECIMAL VALUE ZERO. |
