COMP vs COMP‑3 arithmetic surprises
Seeing different rounding/precision between COMP and COMP‑3. How do you choose types to avoid bugs? Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

Re: COMP vs COMP‑3 arithmetic surprises
read the manual and/or search for "differences between COBOL COMP COMP3"

COMP binary numbers
COMP3 packed decimal numbers
topic moved where it belongs ... the COBOL and friends section
