Hi Vijay,
The least value will be LOW-VALUES in the collating sequence i.e. x'00000000'. It will displayed as '....' in normal character mode.
Correct me guys. if i am wrong. |

I think Hex value zero is the lowest value in an alpha numeric field..this is the value that gets moved when we used cobol keyword low-values.
Please corect me if I am wrong..! |

Use SDSF to view the SYSOUT that contains the display. In the cmd line enter HEX.
You will see the HEX binary zeros that are unprintable characters. |
