What will be the output if a negative value is moved to an unsigned integer?
01 WS-VAR1 PIC 99 VALUE 5
01 WS-VAR2 PIC 99 VALUE 10
01 WS-VAR3 PIC 99 VALUE 10
SUBTRACT WS-VAR1 WS-VAR2 FROM WS-VAR3
What is the value of WS-VAR3?
a) 5
b) 0
c) -5
d) On size Error. |

I think it is (a) 5
Bcos answer is -5( 10+5 is subtracted from 10) and since it is an unsigned integer, only 5 will get stored
Is it correct? |
