Hi I have question with COBOL move statement (TRUNCATE PROBLEM)
VAR1 PIC X (10)
VAR2 PIC X (07)
In my Program I am moving VAR1 TO VAR2 while moving truncation will happen. Now I want to know how to add the logic for data truncation in my COBOL program.
If I move VAR1 TO VAR2 program should run but it should display only error message so please let me know what is the logic. One more thing I don't want to use string option or I cant change size of PIC. Please if anyone know the logic let me know.... |

Count the number of characters in VAR1 and VAR2 using inline perform as you don't want to use string.
If VAR1 is greater than VAR2, display the error message. Otherwise move the contents. |

| Sounds like class work, since the STRING option is out. |

sjiraga, In case you dont wish to use the STRING statement you might try the following logic :
| Code: |
IF VAR1(8:3) = SPACES
MOVE THE VARIBALES
ELSE
DISPLAY THE ERROR
END-IF. |
