Look at Chapter 6 of the COBOL USERS GUIDE.

Also, depending on the verb used when the data decimal occured, you might be able to capture in with the verbs ON SIZE syntax. You can also learn more about that in the COBOL USER GUIDE.

The guide mentioned above is for the OPM Cobol. If you are actually and ILE/COBOL instead of COBOL/400, this is the link. (Chapter 16).
