Re: How many hours per day you use computer?

5 to 6 hour if the use of mobile is not considered.

COMP and USAGE COMP in COBOL.

Hi,

I have seen these two declaration of COMP. What is the difference between the following two codes :

05 WS-VAR-A PIC S9(9) USAGE COMP
05 WS-VAR-B PIC S9(9) USAGE COMP

Will they behave differently. If they behave differently what kind of can I use in my COBOL program to check it.


Thanks,
