 Subject: query!!!
Message:
Suppose a table has a field of type NUMBER(31,5).
Then how can one represent this in cobol-85 where at max only 18 digits are allowed to represent a oracle table field of NUMBER.

It is simple Use Computation clause.
In the Pic clause use Comp.
Many Cobols have diff. computational clause.

I suspect there is no simple way to represent Oracle NUMBER(31,5) data as any of Cobol(-85) packed-decimal or computational type since both are restricted by 18 digits. Simplest way is truncate Oracle column data to 18 digits. I have met the same problem while conversion of Easytrieve code (which allows numeric data with more than 18 digits) to Cobol (see http://www.gomel.iba.by/en/show/pages/147/148/mass-conversion_tool)
