Can any one tell me memory layout of data storage fields like packed decimal,binary,comp,comp-1,comp-2,comp-3 with example?

Try reading the manuals - both the Language Reference and the User Guide. Then write a little program that will create a record containing all the data types and then browse that record in ISPF. Hint: use HEX ON command when in browse/view/edit.
