Chapter Contents

• Basic Arithmetic Verbs

• Options Available with Arithmetic Verbs

• COMPUTE Statement

• Signed Numbers in Arithmetic Operations

• Intrinsic Functions

7-3

Basic Arithmetic Verbs

• ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE

• All require fields operated on to– Have numeric PICTURE clauses– Contain numeric data when statements

executed

7-4

ADD … TO Statement

identifier-1ADD … TO identifier-2 ...

literal-1

• identifier-1 or literal-1 added to identifier-2

• Result stored in identifier-2

Format 1

7-5

ADD … TO Examples

Assume X, Y and Z are numeric fieldsX = 5, Y = 3 and Z = 7

ADD Statement ResultAdd X To Y Y = 8Add X, 9 To Y Y = 17Add X, 6, Y To Z Z = 21

7-6

ADD … TO Statement

• Identifiers preceding TO are unchanged• Value of identifier after TO

– Used in ADD operation– Original value replaced with ADD result

7-7

ADD … GIVING Statement

identifier-1ADD … GIVING identifier-

2 ... literal-1

• Identifiers and literals preceding GIVING added together


Format 2

7-8

ADD … GIVING Examples


ADD Statement ResultAdd X, Y Giving Z Z = 8Add X, 10 Giving Y Y = 15Add X, 4, Y Giving Z Z = 12

7-9


• Identifiers preceding GIVING are unchanged

• Value of identifier after GIVING – Not part of ADD operation– Original value replaced with ADD result– May be report-item with edit symbols

7-10


• TO may be included before last identifier or literal preceding GIVING

• For example: Add X, 4 To Y Giving Z– Adds values of X, 4 and Y together– Stores result in Z

7-11

ADD Statement

• Comma followed by one space may be used to separate operands

• Result of ADD always placed in field(s) after TO or GIVING

• Result field must be data-name, not a literal

7-12

Producing More Than One Sum

• Several ADD operations can be done in single statement

• Assume X, Y and Z are numeric fieldsX = 5, Y = 3 and Z = 7

ADD Statement ResultAdd X To Y, Z Y = 8, Z = 12Add X, 6 Giving Y, Z Y = 11, Z = 11

7-13

ADD … TO vs ADD … GIVING

• Use ADD … TO when original contents of result operand – Need to be included in operation – But are not needed after operation

• Use ADD … GIVING when– Original contents of all operands except

result field are to be retained

7-14

SUBTRACT Statement

identifier-1SUBTRACT … FROM identifier-2 ...

literal-1

• identifier-1 or literal-1 subtracted from identifier-2

SUBTRACT Statement ResultSubtract A From C C = 12Subtract B, 5 From C C = 11Subtract B From A, C A = 4, C = 16

7-16

SUBTRACT Statement Rules

• All identifiers and literals must be numeric

• Data-name, not a literal, must follow FROM

7-24

MULTIPLY Statement

• Only two operands can be multiplied• To obtain product of 3 operands

requires two instructions

7-29

REMAINDER Clause

• Optional clause with DIVIDE used to store remainder of division

• Assume Q and R have PICTUREs of 99

Divide 70 By 15

Giving Q Remainder R

• Stores quotient 4 in Q and integer remainder 10 in R

7-30

ROUNDED Option

• Arithmetic result truncated if room to store all decimal positions not available– Result of 3.89 stored in field with PIC 9V9

as 3^8

• Include ROUNDED to round result to PICTURE specification– Result of 3.89 stored as 3.9 if ROUNDED

option used

7-31

ROUNDED Option

01 Amt1 Pic 9V99 Value 2.25.

01 Amt2 Pic 999.

Arithmetic statement Result Value Stored

Multiply .3 By Amt1 .675 Amt1 = 0^67

Multiply .3 By Amt1 Rounded .675 Amt1 = 0^68

Divide 150 By 9Giving Amt2 Rounded 16.66… Amt2 = 017

Examples

7-32

Overflow or Size Error

• Occurs when result value too large to be stored in result field

• Result of this ADD statement is 1,075Add 350 To 725 Giving Num

• If Num has PICTURE of 999, only 3 digits can be stored

• High-order digits truncated so 075 stored in Num

7-33

Checking for Overflow

• Any arithmetic statement may include one or both size error clauses

• ON SIZE ERROR statement(s)– Specifies one or more statements to be

executed if overflow (size error) occurs

• NOT ON SIZE ERROR statement(s)– Specifies one or more statements to be

executed if overflow (size error) does not occur

7-34

SIZE ERROR Clause Example

Add X To Y Giving Z

On Size Error Display ' Result too large'

Not On Size Error Perform Calc-Para

End-Add

• If sum of X and Y too large to store in Z, Display statement executed

• If Z large enough for result, Calc-Para is performed

7-35

SIZE ERROR Clauses

• When using one or both clauses, use scope terminator to end arithmetic operation– END-ADD, END-SUBTRACT – END-MULTIPLY, END-DIVIDE

7-36

Size of Receiving Fields

• Ensure receiving field has PICTURE large enough to store result

• Addition - define resultant field one position larger than largest field added

• Subtraction - define resultant field as large as number being subtracted from– Assumes positive numbers– Assumes smaller subtracted from larger

number

7-37

Size of Receiving Fields

• Multiplication - define resultant field equal to sum of lengths of operands begin multiplied

• Division - define resultant field equal to sum of number of digits in divisor and dividend

7-38

COMPUTE Statement

• General arithmetic statement using symbols in place of arithmetic verbs

Symbol Verb+ ADD- SUBTRACT* MULTIPLY/ DIVIDE** exponentiation

7-39

COMPUTE Statement

arithmetic-exp-1COMPUTE identifier-1 … = literal-1

identifier-2

• Identifier to left of equal sign set to value of arithmetic-expression, literal or identifier on right of equal sign

Format

7-40

COMPUTE Examples


COMPUTE Statement ResultCompute Z = X * Y Z = 36Compute X = Z - Y + 2 X = 10Compute X = Y X = 4Compute Z = Y ** 2 Z = 16

7-41

Order of Evaluation• Arithmetic expression may include any

combination of symbols +, -, *, / or ** • Order of operations

1. ** all exponentiation performed first2. * or / in order or appearance left to right3. + or - in order or appearance left to right4. ( ) override rules 1-3, all operations

in ( ) performed first

7-42

COMPUTE Examples


COMPUTE Statement ResultCompute Z = Y / X + 3 Z = 6Compute Z = Y / (X + 3) Z = 2Compute Y = Z + X * 10 Y = 65Compute Y = Z * X / 10 Y = 3

7-43

COMPUTE Statement

• COMPUTE can include same optional clauses used with other arithmetic verbs

• ROUNDED follows result field (identifier preceding equal sign)

• If ON SIZE ERROR or NOT ON SIZE ERROR clauses used, include scope terminator END-COMPUTE

7-44

Signed Numbers

• Use S in PIC clause of result field if– Numbers used in calculation may be

negative– Calculation may produce negative results

• PIC clause without S assumed to be unsigned– If negative result stored in unsigned field,

sign not retained

7-45

Intrinsic Functions

• Built-in procedures to perform particular task like– Find square root of number– Convert letters to uppercase– Get current date

• Approved as extensions to COBOL standard in 1989

• Now included in many compilers

7-46

Intrinsic Functions

Find square root of X and place result in Y

Compute Y = Function Sqrt(X)

• Value of X passed to function called Sqrt

• Code in function finds square root of X

• Result returned by Sqrt assigned to Y

Example

7-47

Intrinsic Functions

Convert More-Data to uppercase

Move Function Upper-Case(More-Data) To Up-More-Data

• If More-Data = "Yes", function Upper-Case returns value "YES"

• Value "YES" moved to Up-More-Data

Example

7-48

Intrinsic Functions

FUNCTION function-name (argument)

• Argument - input to function– May be numeric or alpha-numeric

depending on function – Functions may have 0, 1 or more

Format

7-49

Intrinsic Functions

• Output of function - result returned after function performs its task

• Function returning alphanumeric result used in statements using alphanumeric data-items

• Function returning numeric result can be used only in arithmetic expressions

7-50

Chapter Summary

• ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, and DIVIDE verbs – format without GIVING

• Receiving field is part of arithmetic• May not be report-item

– with GIVING format• Receiving field is not part of arithmetic• May be report-item

7-51

Chapter Summary

• COMPUTE used for any combination of arithmetic operations

• Order of evaluation of operators1. **

2. * or / in sequence left to right

3. + or - in sequence left to right

4. ( ) override normal hierarchy rules

7-52

Chapter Summary

• ROUNDED can follow receiving field in any arithmetic verb

• ON SIZE ERROR, NOT ON SIZE ERROR– Can be used with any arithmetic verb– Include scope terminator (e.g., END-ADD)
