 In this lab exercise you will connect to an IBM Z system, view a simple COBOL hello world program in VSCode, submit JCL to compile the COBOL program, and view the output.  Refer to "Installation of VSCode and extensions" to configure VSCode with the Zowe Explorer and Z Open Editor extensions if you have not already done so.

 Enterprise COBOL for z/OS by default utilizes EBCDIC encoding.  However, it is possible to read and write ASCII in z/OS.  The EBCDIC format representation of numbers and alphabetic characters is in a DISPLAY format.  Packed decimal and zoned decimal are NOT in a DISPLAY format.  COBOL can describe packed decimal and zoned decimal fields using COMPUTATIONAL, COMP-1, COMP-2, COMP-3, COMP-4, and COMP-5 reserved words.

 What happens when an internal packed decimal field is not described using COMP-3? Without using COMP-3 to describe the field, the COBOL program treats the data as DISPLAY data (EBCDIC format). This lab demonstrates what happens during program execution without using COMP-3.
