I have a Cobol program that I would like to call from a C program. The linkage section of the Cobol program has some numeric fields defined as :-

FIELD1 PIC S9(9)V99 BINARY.
FIELD2 PIC 9(7) BINARY.

I'm having trouble passing values for these numeric fields into the Cobol program. I have defined the corresponding fields in the C program as short, int, long (and their unsigned counterparts) and double but nothing seems to work. How must my C variables be defined in order to pass values into the Cobol program.

TIA

Cardy
