Hi,
I was trying to check for whether a value is coming spaces or blanks from the CICS screen. If it is coming spaces or blank I shall update NULL in table.
the field which catches the data in the CICS is Numeric and the field I use in the Cobol that is too Numeric.
Can anyone please help me to get the logic. |

| after receiving the screen and interrogating the field, if the input screen field is <= spaces (BLANKS????? that is not a cobol term) then set the null-indicator for that column to -1, else move the value to the host variable used for the column in the insert command and set the null-indicator to zero. |

Hi,
thanks for your reply. By blanks I did mean that in the CICS screen the field has not been entered at all. It has been left vacant. How d i check for that? |

MDT = modified data tag |
