Hello,
What if this was abc20 pic x(20).
As Enrico mentioned, it will be better if you take some time and clearly describe what you are trying to accomplish rather than dumping one disconnected question after another as new topics. |

OK go ahed , You still did not explain what You are trying to do..
I' ll try to infer it from You scarce info...
given a cobol copybook describing a record
You want to move to the rexx variables with the proper name the record content
right ?
learn to explain Your requirement better
and do not post questions related to the same issue in multiple topics |

the line was an inference from Your unclear posting style
for the topic tile the question is still badly posed
You do not want to find a numeric value, You want to parse a token within parentheses
here is a snippet
| Code: |
string = "zzz pic x(20)"
parse var string ."(" token ")" .
say token
|
will not work for a string with a different layout and for a different requrement
I' ll leave to You as an exercise to find and use the proper rexx builtin function to determine if the token is numeric or not

no need to assume that patronizing attitude ...
I am perfectly capable of understanding a simple requirement like that
and implement it |
