 WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SIGNED FIELDS, LIKE PIC S9(05) 
> OR PIC S9(05) COMP.
> WE MADE A REORG WITH ICOBOL TO CONVERT FROM INDEXED FORMAT  TO SEQUENTIAL
FORMAT,
> AFTER WE RUNNED A MICROFOCUS COBOL PROGRAM TO READ THE 
> SEQUENTIAL FILE AND WRITE A NEW INDEXED FILE.
> THE ONLY WAY TO MAINTAIN SIGN COMPATABILITY THAT WE HAVE FOUND UNTIL NOW 
IS TO USE THE DIRECTIVE "EBCDIC".
> BUT WE ARE NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, AND
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT OUR DATA ON THE FUTURE.

> Thanks very much.
