• COMP is 2 bytes.<\/li>\n
• COMP is used for Binary Representation it allows only S and 9.<\/li>\n
• COMP stores the data in the binary format.<\/li>\n
• With COMP fields, you have to drag out a calculator and convert the hex value to find out the true value that is being used in a program.<\/li>\n
• Memory usage is,\n
