Concatenate VAR-1 and VAR-2 to get the VAR-3

Hi Friends,

I have the following variables:

01 VAR-1 PIC X(15) VALUE 'AAAAA '.
01 VAR-2 PIC X(05) VALUE '11111'.
01 VAR-3 PIC X(10) VALUE SPACES.

Now, I need to concatenate VAR-1 and VAR-2 to get the VAR-3 with the value 'AAAAA11111'.

Is there a way to achieve this in COBOL?

Hi William,

Thank you for providing me with the link for STRING statement.
I could not get the required answer in the link.

Could you please tell me how to achieve this using the STRING statement?

Thanks.

Did you look at the example and explanation for Figure 17 (the example is just above the figure)?

Yes...!, I could see the example. I also used the same in my pgm and I got what I required.

Thank You very much William.
