What is difference between comp & comp-4?

What is COMP SYNC?

Causes the item to be aligned on natural boundaries. Can be SYNCHRONIZED LEFT or RIGHT.
For binary data items, the address resolution is faster if they are located at word boundaries in
the memory.
For example, on main frame the memory word size is 4 bytes. This means that each word will
start from an address divisible by 4. If my first variable is x(3) and next one is s9(4) comp, then if
you do not specify the SYNC clause, S9(4) COMP will start from byte 3 ( assuming that it starts
from 0 ). If you specify SYNC, then the binary data item will start from address 4. You might see
some wastage of memory, but the access to this computational field is faster

How can u read the file from bottom

1. QSAM (sequential) file. You can run it thru SORT utility adding SEQNUM and then sort then sort by
