he following is the details of COMP items. BINARY Specified for binary data items.

Such items have a decimal equivalent consisting of the decimal digits 0 through 9, plus a sign. Negative numbers are represented as the two's complement of the positive number with the same absolute value. The amount of storage occupied by a binary item depends on the number of decimal digits defined in its PICTURE clause: Digits in PICTURE Clause Storage Occupied 1 through 4 2 bytes (halfword) 5 through 9 4 bytes (fullword) 10 through 18 8 bytes (doubleword) The leftmost bit of the storage area is the operational sign. PACKED-DECIMAL Specified for internal decimal items. Such an item appears in storage in packed decimal format. There are 2 digits for each character position, except for the trailing character position, which is occupied by the low-order digit and the sign. Such an item can contain any of the digits 0 through 9, plus a sign, representing a value not exceeding 18 decimal digits. The sign representation uses the same bit configuration as the 4-bit sign representation in zoned decimal fields (see Table 12 in topic 2.7.12.2 and Table 13 in topic 2.7.12.2). COMPUTATIONAL or COMP Representation of the COMPUTATIONAL phrase is system-dependent and is normally assigned to representations that yield the greatest efficiency when arithmetic operations are performed on that system. For the VS COBOL II compiler, the COMPUTATIONAL phrase is synonymous with BINARY. COMPUTATIONAL-1 or COMP-1 Specified for internal floating-point items (single precision). COMP-1 items are 4 bytes long. The sign is contained in the first bit of the leftmost byte and the exponent is contained in the remaining 7 bits. The last 3 bytes contain the mantissa. COMPUTATIONAL-2 or COMP-2 Specified for internal floating-point items (double precision). COMP-2 items are 8 bytes long. The sign is contained in the first bit of the leftmost byte and the remaining 7 bits contain the exponent. The remaining 7 bytes contain the mantissa. COMPUTATIONAL-3 or COMP-3 (internal decimal) For VS COBOL II, this is the equivalent of PACKED-DECIMAL. COMPUTATIONAL-4 or COMP-4 (binary) For VS COBOL II this is the equivalent of BINARY.
