Kathir:

As long as your numeric value is not negative and has no decimal positions, you 
can move the value into a *CHAR 6 field and pass that into the COBOL program; 
zoned decimal is practically a character representation of a numeric value 
anyway. Be aware that _any_ need for negative numbers or for decimal fractions 
may take significant effort to implement as zoned decimal in CL if you cannot 
change the COBOL program. Otherwise, it's trivial.
