The INTEGERSIGNED field (if memory serves me correctly) is treated as a Zoned Decimal field. In other words, the low order byte will have the high order 4 bits set to "C" for positive and "D" for negative numbers (system preferred signs). I can't remember if it accepts "A" and "F" for positive and "B" for negative as well. Packed decimal arithmetic will accept any of the "A" through "F" bit configurations in the sign position. It sounds like what is getting passed across and converted in the sign position on the host side is resulting in a bit configuration of 0 through 9 accounting for the data exception (S0C7).

Hi ,
I have the following COBOL copy book imported into WMQI(2.1 WinNT)
06 TESTVARIABLES. 07 TESTINPUT. 08 INTEGERNOSIGN PIC 99. 08 INTEGERSIGNED PIC S99. 08 DECIMALNOSIGN PIC 99V99. 08 DECIMALSIGNED PIC S99V99. 08 COMP3NOSIGN PIC 99V99 COMP-3. 08 COMP3SIGNED PIC S99V99 COMP-3.
I assign the following values to them in a compute node
SET "OutputRoot"."MRM"."INTEGERNOSIGN" = 12;
SET "OutputRoot"."MRM"."INTEGERSIGNED" = -12;
SET "OutputRoot"."MRM"."DECIMALNOSIGN" = 1234;
SET "OutputRoot"."MRM"."DECIMALSIGNED" = -1234;
SET "OutputRoot"."MRM"."COMP3NOSIGN" = 5678;
SET "OutputRoot"."MRM"."COMP3SIGNED" = -678;
Now when a COBOL program on mainframe reads this message and moves into the same copybook and displays the fields , I get an SOC 7 error for the S99 field.WHat could be the problem. Pls respond.
THanks in ADvance
