Thanks for the reply..
Amount field in input file is 593.92 in Input file
One more doubt , as that amount field in input will occupy 6 bytes and if we decalare it as s9(3)v99 it will have only 5 bytes.. so there will be a mismatch between the input file and the record layout how to over come this.

instead of basing on one example field,
since you have not bothered to find out from the source (generator of this file)
what is the actual record definition,
you are going to have to look at more than one record.
if indeed the contents of the record contains 958.92 (your first post) or 593.92 (your second post),
and you are only displaying the field,
define it as PIC X(06),
if you are sure that all amounts are less than 1000.00.
but then, that is why you have to look at the file..................
since you did not bother to ask/inquire the creator of the file.
