Hi,
I have 2 input file and a output file and all uses same copybook.There is a field ABC which is of length 10 and I need last 5 characters of it from both the input file.So,The move statement I used is :
Move ABC(5:5) OF IP1 TO WS-IP1-ABC
Move ABC(5:5) OF IP2 TO WS-IP2-ABC
But on compiling its giving error saying the field ABC is not a uniquely defined field.
Would anyone help me out to sort out this error.Please |

Hello and welcome to the forum,
When you have a question, start a new topic for your question and post in the appropriate part of the forum rather than posting a reply to some unrelated questino. . .
This question does not sound like an interview question and is really not about reference modification. . .
The compiler error is because you have used a duplicate field name and not qualified it. |

Thnx for reply but that was actually a reference modification query and I got the answer :
The statement should be:
Move ABC OF IP1(5:5) TO WS-IP1-ABC |

Sorry, but just because you used reference modification does not make the question/problem a reference modification issue. . .
As i mentioned originally,

If you really, really believe the problem was due to something other than proper qualification, i suspect there will be many times when you get "stuck". . . |
