Facing problem in formating COMP-3 value

Moving a COMP-3 value to an Edited field. Check the fields below.

INPUT
-------

Data type : S9(09)V99 Comp-3
INPUT VALUE : 00019966330
Hex Value

009630
01963C

OUTPUT
---------

Data type : -(09)9.99
OUTPUT VALUE : 0000001996.63

I expected the output to be 000199663.30

But the value I am getting is 0000001996.63.

Any thoughts on this issue
Please let me know whats happen here.

I am just moving a COMP-3 Value to a EDITED field

I would expect the same. Something's not lining up. How do you get the value into the COMP-3 field? Try inserting a display statement for the COMP-3 field right before the move to the numeric edit field to verify the value.

Hi Kolusu and Jsharon1248

The problem got solved.

After tyring all my possibilities, I just changed the edit field declaration from
-(08)9.99 to -(08)9,99

I was surprised to see that the output was 000199663,30

Then I realized that In the maiframe which I am working default is "DECIMAL POINT IS COMMA".

IF we try generating an output with a DOT '.' it will not give us the desired output.

Thankx for your suggessions and quick response.
