I have a variable ABC of format PIC S9(9)
On moving spaces into ABC, getting the result is 0.
MOVE SPACES TO ABC.
DISPLAY ABC.
Result: 0
What is the reason for this??
Please explain?
Thanks. |

Because the designers made it work this way. . .
Even though it "works this way", it should be unacceptable to move spaces to a numeric-defined field. It is a very poor programming practice. |
