Hi Guys,
Please calrify the following things.
1) When 'MOVE' takes place in COBOL, Is only value of sending data is considered to be moved to receiving filed?
or
Are both value as well as datatype considered for the MOVE?
Because MOVE '123' to 9(3)
MOVE 123 to X(3) are possible.
but MOVE 'ABC' to 9(3) is not possible.
Please explain bit more.
2) Is this MOVE 123(declared as comp) to X(3) possible?If no Why.
Regards,
Sona. |

Hello,
If you click on "Manuals" at the top of the web page, documentation is available for multiple versions of mainframe COBOL. The first group of manuals is COBOL. |

| You can certainly test each of your questions. |

Ya.. Better way to learn is by testing.
The move depends on compiler also.
Most of the times, moves wont give you errors but addition or other manipulation will throw errors.
9(3) to x(3) move is permitted.
9(3) to comp variable move wont give error.
But adding 9(3) to a COMP variable will result in S0C7.
moves in general wont throw errors... |

TEST it with a 9(3) field containing valid numeric data! |

No, it won't - unless the 9(3) field has invalid data.
As Craig suggests - test it with valid data. . . |

Get a 9(3) as input in the program using ACCEPT statement and test.
It will abend. |

Yes it will fail, if the 9(3) field contains nonnumeric data! |
