The Java data types are mapped to the COBOL data types as shown below:
Java data type | COBOL data type |
|---|
boolean | PIC 1 |
byte | PIC X |
char | PIC X(2) When an ANK character is stored, the first byte is used and the second byte is X'00'. When a national character is stored, two bytes are used. Data is mapped when code option -cs (native code) or no code option is specified.
|
PIC N When an ANK character is stored, the first byte is used and the second byte is X'00'. When a national character is stored, two bytes are used. Data is mapped when code option -cu (Unicode) is specified.

short | PIC S9(4) COMP-5 |
int | PIC S9(9) COMP-5 |
long | PIC S9(18) COMP-5 |
float | COMP-1 |
double | COMP-2 |
Array | Object reference array adapter class |
Object | Object reference adapter class |
