    Just a quicky

    I am looking at the possiblity of reading a db2 table for a financial app
    using cobol, can I go above the PIC S9(19) COMP as I need to handle large
    precision numbers (up to 31 digit).

    The data would be stored as decimal in db2, i believe there is a compiler
    option but cant find it in my documenetation

    Any help greatly recieved

    Ed
