Hi,
I have three variable declared as follows
| Code: |
TOTAL PIC S9(9) COMP-3.
CNT_ONE PIC --,---,--9.
CNT_TWO PIC --,---,---,--9.
|
and in the program i am calculating TOTAL and at the end moving to CNT_ONE and CNT_TWO
| Code: |
MOVE TOTAL TO CNT_ONE.
MOVE TOTAL TO CNT_TWO.
|
if the TOTAL has the value as +010817045
it is moving 817,045 to CNT_ONE
and 10,817,045 to CNT_TWO.
Please let me know why it is truncating first two bytes in case of CNT_ONE even though the value can fit into it. |

IIRC, CNT_ONE has the ability to represent seven digits. The first '-' in the edit field is not a numerical digit , but the place holder for the minus sign if needed.
If you want to learn more, I can point you to a Principles of Operation manual and you can look at the EDit instruction. |
