For Translation Of A Field 'long' From Unix To Mainframe : How To Specify The Length Of The Result 'COMP-5' Field
(Doc ID 1507404.1)
Last updated on SEPTEMBER 08, 2023
Applies to:
Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for SNA - Version 11.1.1.2.0 and laterInformation in this document applies to any platform.
Summary of the problem.
- a "long" field in a C program on unix 32 bits system is stored in 4 bytes
- a "long" field in a C program on Unix 64 bits system is stored in 8 bytes
These fields can be translated to mainframe cobol program by :
S9(9) COMP-5 ==> 4 bytes
Or
S9(18) COMP-5 ==> 8 bytes
Until RP010, the translation depends on Unix system :
32 bits Unix system : long is translated to S9(9) COMP-5
64 bits Unix system : long is translated to S9(18) COMP-5
Goal
Define the length of COMP-5 field on Cobol mainframe program when translated from 'long' field on Unix system regardless the size of the memory used on Unix system.
