This commit updates the COBOL test suite to correctly reflect the IBM-formatted COMP-1 and COMP-2 types when using the DISPLAY verb. Specifically, tests for displaying 1.23 now expect the output to be .123 01, aligning with the expected behavior of IBM COBOL for these numeric representations. This ensures the GCC COBOL frontend accurately emulates platform-specific formatting for these data types.
