Read/Find Value for a COMP-2 field in COBOL

[BMP]

Hi,
I have a COMP-2 field in a COBOL program. This field is passed as a parameter in a call to a Fortran subroutine. Now there is an error because the field passed is not valid. I put a display for COMP-2 field in my program. But I don't know how to read a COMP-2 field. How can I determine the value of COMP-2 field. Has anyone encountered this before?

What compiler are you using? COMP-2 is an implementor extension in all dialects of COBOL. What does your MANUAL say about COMP-2 fields?
