Can we pass a simple decimal value to a packed decimal format with the help of MOVE statement?
Can we move CHAR to decimal with the help of MOVE? If not whats the process to move it?
Thanks,

Yes, quoting the Fine Manual:
| Quote: |
| An elementary move is one in which the receiving item is an elementary item, and the sending item is an elementary item or a literal. Any necessary conversion of data from one form of internal representation to another takes place during the move, along with any specified editing in, or de-editing implied by, the receiving item. |
