Hi,
I have a Input filed with PIC X(50)
in that I may get data as follows
05 WS-VAR-A PIC X(50)
05 WS-OTHER-NAME PIC X(50)
WS-VAR-A = ANDREW*FLINTOFF
WS-OTHER-NAME = SACHIN
and finally at the end WS-VAR-A should have ANDREW*SACHIN
WS-VAR-A = ANDREW*SACHIN
I have tryed with INSPECT and REPLACE but its not working
l;ike
INSPECT WS-VAR-A REPLACING BY WS-OTHER-NAME BY AFTER C-ST
where C-ST defined as '*'
Can anyone explain ??? |

What you wanted is clear, but there is no reason to assume the compiler will generate the desired code. . .
When trying something new, it is best to review the material in the manual before coding/testing. To help with this, there is an "IBM Manuals" link at the top of the page. At the top of the list are manuals for various COBOL compilers.
If you read something n the manual that is not clear, post what you found and your doubt. Someone will be able to clarify. |

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Yup, you've "been here" for a while, but this is your first post 
When posting a "solution" it is best to provide more than something cryptic. . .
It is surely not clear as to why there are 2 "after"s. . .
Showing code can be helpful, but providing a bit of an explanation would be even more helpful. |
