Hi,
ZERO is generally use ti move single zero vales i.e the field length is 1
ZEROS/ZEROES both are same and use to move more than one zero in field
Correct me if I am wrong
Regards

The only difference is spelling. Otherwise, they are identical.
Each will move/add/etc. as many xeros as needed.
ZERO can be used (but is not required) to make the COBOL stmt sound (read) grammatically correct if the field is only 1 position long. |
