VMS Help  —  COBOL  Qualifiers  /DISPLAY_FORMATTED
  /DISPLAY_FORMATTED
  /NODISPLAY_FORMATTED (D)

  In COBOL DISPLAY statements, supports the WITH CONVERSION syntax
  implicitly for numeric data fields which contain non-printing
  values. The compile-time qualifier /DISPLAY_FORMATTED must be
  explicitly present in the compilation command line to cause the
  conversion of non-printing numeric values to human-readable
  printing values when they are displayed at the user's terminal
  display unit.

  The default, /NODISPLAY_FORMATTED, retains the behaviour of not
  converting non-printing numeric values when displaying them to
  the user's terminal display.
