DG Data Types
The following types of DG data are supported by this COBOL environment:
COMP This is identical to COMP in this COBOL system.
DISPLAY This format obeys the same rules as the DISPLAY
format in this COBOL system, except that any
processing signs are stored differently. Convert5
converts the DG format to the standard ASCII
format. However, if you wish to emulate the DG
behavior you can do so by manually amending your
source code before you run Convert5. You must
change the definition of these fields from signed
numeric to alphanumeric. If you do this you must
also set the SIGN"EBCDIC" parameter when you submit
your code to this COBOL system.
You should note that Convert5 does not support the DG INDEX data format.
