Hi All,
Can Filler be initialized.
I have copybook as
01 BR-REC
under that
03 Filler pic x(38)
if we initialize BR-REC,will the Filler also be initialized.
i feel that it cant be initialized.
one more question, can Filler be redefine. |

sajjid.hussain,
Same answer for both questions. No.
One way to initialize the filler area is to 'MOVE SPACES TO BR_REC', then 'INITIALIZE BR_REC'.
The entire record will be initialized to spaces, and then the non-fillers will be initialized appropriately.
Why would you want, or need to redefine FILLER? Simply define the area the way you want.
