Specifies whether the sign is to be dropped when a value is stored in an unsigned COMP-5 data item.
Syntax:
>>-.---.--COMP-5--"integer"----------------><
+-/-+
Parameters:
-
integer
- Must be one of:
- 1
- Behavior as in earlier versions of this Compiler. The sign is dropped.
- 2
- The sign is not dropped. Negative numbers are stored in two's complement form, so that, except for their byte-order being machine dependent, unsigned COMP-5 items behave like COMP-X. This results in highly efficient arithmetic on unsigned COMP-5 items.
Properties:
| Default:
|
COMP-5"2"

| Phase:
