Hi Ron and Serguey,
Thanks for your answer, but the documentation of C and postgres said that an 
int may have the values from -2 147 483 648 to +2 147 483 647 ie 10 digits.
In my remember, a cobol documentation said that the maximum value for PIC 
S9(9), eventually COMP, is 999 999 999 so, if you are right, it is impossible 
to have the value of an int.
In fact, when the problem appears I have the fields defined as pic s9(8) comp, 
so ???
