Hi All,

I have a alphanumeric group field K-MBR-NO

05 K-MBR-NO.
10 K-MBR-NO-9 PIC X(9).
10 K-MBR-SFX PIC X(2).
10 K-MBR-FILLER PIC X(1).

I need to move first nine characters i.e K-MBR-NO-9 to the below field in Eztrieve

05 K-EMP-ID PIC S9(09) USAGE COMP.

Its giving me error message *******B055 INVALID LENGTH, TYPE OR DECIMAL PLACES - K-MBR-NO-9

while trying to move K-MBR-NO-9 to K-EMP-ID

Is there any way that we can move alphanumeric fields to comp fields.

Please help me

Thank you.

Hello,

Suggest you redefine the x(9) field with a 9(9) field.

Hi
05 K-EMP-ID PIC S9(09) USAGE COMP.
COMP is not any data format in Easytrieve.
we have B for binary format in easytrieve.
