sign bit representation during natural to cobol conversion

Hi,

I converted a Natural program to cobol. I am facing a situation here. The dataset length if 400.
In the 359th bit and one other bit, i am getting a F(hexa decimal value for positive) when i generate the dataset by running the natural program while i am getting a C(another hex representation for +ve) using the cobol program.

While converting from Natural to cobol do we face situations like these? Are these a problem. If so how can it be solved?

Thanks,

Sandy

Check the PSIGNF compiler option.
