I have a COMP-3 variable satrting in an input file(VB) from position 132.
The variable is S9(13) COMP-3.

I need to copy this to an output file (VB) so that I can see the number.

Please help me out with this.

What do you want in the output file, just the ZD version of the comp-3 field or additional data? What about the sign of the comp-3 field? What is the lrecl of the input and output records.

for what reason You want to complicate Your life...
since every record is of the same length, there is no reason to have a varialble length record format...
