Hi , can we give pic clause on 88 level variable as shown below.
comment on this code :
01 Month PIC X(03).
88 M1 PIC X(03) value 'JAN'.
88 M2 PIC X(03) value 'FEB'.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The below code is fine for reference.
01 Month PIC X(03).
88 M1 value 'JAN'.
88 M2 value 'FEB'. |

@ Mukesh Pandey
Morning Sir !
You only have the Pic-Clause to define the field.
01 MDL90600-SQL-STATUS PIC X(04).
88 MDL90600-SQL-IGNORE VALUE '0000'.
88 MDL90600-SQL-FEHLER VALUE '9999'. |

Trying compiling the program and review the error messages. It's a simple process which YOU can do quite easily. |

Hi Mukesh,
Perhaps the following might lead you to the answer:
The 88 level is not a variable, it's a condition name. The 01 level is the variable. |
