I am writing this piece of code -
Code:
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
program-id. Hello.
data division.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 INPUT-RECORD.
   02 VAR1 OCCURS 4 TIMES.
      03 VAR2 PIC X(11) OCCURS 1 TIMES.
      03 VAR22 REDEFINES VAR2 PIC S9(10) SIGN IS LEADING SEPARATE CHARACTER.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE '012|323|121|2|1' TO INPUT-RECORD.
UNSTRING INPUT-RECORD DELIMITED BY "|"
                 INTO VAR2(1,1)
              DISPLAY VAR22(1)
stop run.


Output -
12 -

I want to get it displayed as +012.

Thanks for the help in advance.

No it's not solved actually.

The subscript thing is adding trailing zeroes to the number.
How to avoid it?
