Hi All,


I need to convert the following COMP/BINARY field

05 COUNTER PIC S9(9) COMP

into the regular usage as below

05 WS-COUNTER PIC 9(9).

Im refering to mainframe cobol(85).

Could any of you please let me know how to do this...
Im struck at this point............

I'd try

MOVE COUNTER TO WS-COUNTER

and see what that gets you...
