Problem:

Why isn't the sign displayed for a signed COMP-3 field (PIC S9V99) when executing a COBOL program that has been compiled using mainframe dialect directives (VSC2)?

Resolution:

Recently, the product functionality has been modified.  When emulating mainframe dialects, the sign is no longer displayed when specifying a signed COMP-3 field.   The change was made to align Micro Focus for improved mainframe emulation.
