How to move a alphanumeric variable with X(11) to Signed implied numeric variable S9(10)V9(6)?
Suppose the value in X(11) variable is 6.556 when moved to this implied
decimal variable it becomes 00006.556000000{
The decimal point is explicitly represented when doing this way.
How to move the correct value to this field.?
Please help with your valuable suggestions. |

Hi Kothai,
Using an INSPECT statement would be a start.... |

Thanks for the response.
But i dont have to determine the decimal point position.
I need to the output field to have the value 000000000655600{ instead of
00006.556000000{
Please let me know what needs to be done in this case. |

So I guess you want to use the variable as a number.
The same topic has been discussed a lot of times in the forum before. Please check and let us know if you are still not able to find a solution. |

You will need to do it better and please understand that we all here are busy.
Please do the following...
1. Click Search link on top of this page
2. Search for "alphanumeric and numeric"
3. Select "Mainframe COBOL" in the Forums section
4. Probably you could tick "Search topic title only" option. |

| FUNCTION NUMVAL is one idea. Reading up in the COBOL Language Reference (manuals link at the top of the page) on MOVE rules so you understand why COBOL did exactly what you asked it to do would also be quite helpful. |
