Hi everybody, i'm having problems moving a Numeric non integer var to a alphanumeric one.
I have this two variables:
10 WS-IMP-OPE-2 PIC 9(16)V9(2).
03 CI01-COD-FORMATO PIC X(1500).
and when i make MOVE WS-IMP-OPE-2 TO CI01-COD-FORMATO I get this error:
"WS-IMP-OPE-2 (NUMERIC NON-INTEGER)" and "CI01-COD-FORMATO (ALPHANUMERIC REFERENCE MODIFIED ITEM)" di d not follow the "MOVE" statement compatibility rules. The statement was discarded.
Could someone help me with this? I'm sure i have done this kind of moves and never got this error.
Thanks. |

Are you on Enterprise COBOL for Z/OS?
Bur this is allowed.
| Code: |
77 WS-IMP-OPE-2 PIC 9(16).9(2).
77 WS-IMP-OPE-1 PIC 9(16)V9(2).
77 CI01-COD-FORMATO PIC X(1500).
.

| Code: |

.
MOVE WS-IMP-OPE-1 TO WS-IMP-OPE-2.
MOVE WS-IMP-OPE-2 TO CI01-COD-FORMATO.

If you can use ref mod try:
MOVE WS-IMP-OPE-2(1:) TO CI01-COD-FORMATO |

Why would you do this? What would you want as a result when you move an 18-digit number to a 1500-byte field? |

You probably moved something like PIC 9(18). - an integer. But why DO you want to make that kind of move? - just curious. |

MOVE WS-IMP-OPE-1 TO WS-IMP-OPE-2.

Sounds eerily like "I was just following orders. . ."
"Sorry i crashed the payment system. . . "
or
"Oops, the automatic dosage system issued incorrect medicines to the people in the Intensive Care Unit. . ."

pa3lo,
most of us have to follow directions most of the time (even if we provided that direction). That doesn't mean that the directions should not be understood by the "followers"and when it makes sense, changed. When you have directions that are questioned by others (like the people who responded here) i'd suggest that you make sure you undstand why they are asking the question(s).
For this time thru, i'm sure you need to follow the "rule" in place, but over time you may be able to influence this and other "rules" that may have better alternatives. Many of us who contribute here did just that. . . I suppose much of that would depend on what you have in mind for your next 5, 10, or more years.
FWIW,
