| If the move worked (a redefine would be easier in this case) a would equal 4092653808 which is the decimal value of 11110011111100001111000011110000 which is the binary value of F3F0F0F0 which is the hec value of 3000 which is the character value of 4092653808. |

The compiler is probably to smart for its own good. It will make the assumption that you are moving numeric data and convert the char string ?3000? to binary on the move.
The Field ?A? will have a value of 3000, hex value x?0BB8?. |
