comp-5 is just comp with trunc(bin)
from the manual
 Note: The TRUNC(BIN) compiler option causes all binary data items |
(USAGE COMP, COMP-4) to be handled as if they were declared with USAGE
| COMP-5.

I don't remember the old cobol 2 compile options - there is an
equivalent option because it removed the extra code to enforce the pic
size and we always specified it.
