I get a prob........
i have a map varible x(10)....... and a file variable 9(10).
when i receve a value from a map and populate file field values.... then it show some junk value in last byte
01 m-var1 pic x(10)...............(Map variable)
m-var1 = 123456 ...........(only 6 digit)
pgm...
01 ws-var1 pic 9(10) value zeores.
move m-var1i to ws-var1.
ws-var1= 123456 0 (it shows zero or junk value in last byte....WHY??) |

Why and what abend should he get?
shanu(darling)  (I cant believe people will take such usernames ),
Try running XPEDITOR or any debugging tool available at your site, see the contents of m-var1, it may contain junk already and it is getting carried to 9(10) variable. |

Shanu is moving an alphanumeric variable (PIC X(10) with 6 digits followed by 4 spaces) to a numeric variable.

move m-var1i to ws-var1. |
Is this kind of move possible? |

Of course it is, he did it, didn't he?

You need to either define the map as numeric or take care moving the characters to the numeric field.
One way would be to use the intrinsic function NUMVAL. |

Have you practically tried this and seeking advice or is it a hypothetical question?
We can not move alphanumeric data type to numeric without ISNUMERIC check. And going by your data it is left justifying which is not possible for numeric data as the default is right justification.
Please supply enough and authentic data while posting the query so that you can get a prompt solution
Why dont you provide the exact code you tried with. |

This keeps coming again and again.
Alphanumeric to numeric movement is perfectly legal in COBOL.
You will get compilation error when you try to move Alphabetic (not alphanumeric) data to numeric variable.

This NUMERIC CHECK is not mandatory. You can very well move data between variables without numeric check.
@OP
How you have generated symbolic map? using tool or you have assumed it as X(10)? What is physical map defn for that field? |

Little correction,
Please read,

You mean to say moving 123456bbbb (b=spaces) to PIC9(10) is legal?
I have not tried this, but curuios to read your reply. |

I think I have already answered this.
Why don't you give it a try instead and let me know. Curious to read YOUR reply.  |

Interesting results.
I coded the following:
01 WS-VARIABLE PIC 9(10) VALUE ZEROES.
01 MAP-VARIABLE PIC X(10) VALUE '123456'.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE MAP-VARIABLE TO WS-VARIABLE.
DISPLAY '----+----+----'.
DISPLAY WS-VARIABLE.
GOBACK.
And received no compile errors or execution errors. My output is:
----+----+----
123456
Not at all what I expected. Even changing the WS-VARIABLE to a signed COMP-3 field didn't change the results. However, when it was defined as a plain COMP field, the compile was good but the program abended because of "illegal characters in a numeric field".
Curioser and curioser.  |

What did you expect?
I think murali doesn't need to give it a try then, but if he does he can learn more..
socker_dad,
You have tried this in batch cobol but OP is facing some problem in CICS.
However OP hasn't replied about about physical map information..Lets wait for that.. |
