Declare correct PIC clause for packed decimal format and move the numeric field to Packed Numeric field.

praveen_kandrakota,

it is no wonder that you have questions. you never listen to the answers.
each post in this thread has provided you the answer.

05 field-a pic 9(9).
05 field-b pic s9(9) packed-decimal.

move field-a to field-b.

if you would bother to read the documentation, you would know that cobol will effect conversion when you MOVE one type of numeric to another.
