What is happening? Abend, wrong results, no results, ...
How are your output fields defined?
Could you go into edit on the input file turn hex on and show us some of the input. Do the same on the output file.
We are willing to help, but we need more information in order to help you.

"Move" does a character move (no type conversion).
"Assignment '=' evaluates the expression and assigns the value, including type conversion if needed.
Usually the assignment operator will do what you want and "Move" is not needed.
