Store "Nº" before number in COBOL

66 views Asked by At

I need to store before a number (integer), like Nº423.

I try:

  • 77 SC PIC 'Nº'9 VALUE 423.
  • 77 SC PIC N9 VALUE 423.

But I don't achieve it. Can anyone help me?

    01  prefixed-number.
        05  the-prefix pic xx   value 'Nº'.
        05  the-number pic 999  value 423.

I suggest you familiarize yourself with your compiler's documentation on data definitions in COBOL, including the PICTURE clause and the USAGE clause.
