Hi,
In my cobol program the below line is showing the error.
MOVE 99.9 TO ATTENUATOR-FACTOR OF ACCES-LIAISON.
ERROR:
The "MOVE" statement was invalid. Expected "TO", but found ".".
statement was discarded.
"9" was invalid. Skipped to the next verb, period or procedure-name definition.

Thanks for your reply.
my definition is:
| Code: |
01 ACCES-LIAISON.
02 CODE-VALIDITE-SECTION PIC X.
02 VALEUR-DE-ACCES PIC 9(4).
02 INDICATEUR-LIAISON PIC X.
02 NUMERO-SOUSSYSTEME-COTEA
PIC 9(4).
02 NUMERO-SOUSSYSTEME-COTEB
PIC 9(4).
02 DATE-DEBUT-VALIDITE PIC 9(8).
02 DATE-FIN-VALIDITE PIC 9(8).
02 STATUS-CD PIC X(2).
02 RELATION-IND PIC X(1).
02 NE-VALUE PIC X(16).
02 ATTENUATOR-FACTOR PIC 9(2)V9.
02 FILLER PIC X(12). |
and the previous line is:
| Code: |
MOVE SPACES TO RELATION-IND OF ACCES-LIAISON.
MOVE WA-EQPA-ACC-FROM-IN TO
NE-VALUE OF ACCES-LIAISON.
MOVE 99.9 TO ATTENUATOR-FACTOR OF ACCES-LIAISON. |

i am suggesting this without knowing the PIC clause.
Please use 99.9 within quotes.
or else,
Since it is a constant value, define a variable in working storage and set the value as 99.9.
Then use that variable for move statement. |

Mathive,
since it is delared as numeric,I cant use quotes.
Is it possible to overcome that issue without adding one new variable?
thanks,

Why do you think you can't use quotes if the variable is declared numeric? Which compiler are you using?
I tested using Enterprise COBOL 3.4.1 and got:
| Code: |
05 WS-NUMERIC-VAR PIC 99V9 VALUE ZEROS.
/
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
S1000-MAIN SECTION.
MOVE 99.9 TO WS-NUMERIC-VAR.
DISPLAY WS-NUMERIC-VAR.
MOVE '999' TO WS-NUMERIC-VAR.
DISPLAY WS-NUMERIC-VAR. |
which generated output of
so the problem is either the compiler you're using or something in the way you're writing the code. |

yes me tested too. (Ecob)
you can just move 99.9 to that variable. or even use qoutes.
i think you would need to check system installation. |

I copied your code into a program, compiled and got everything OK.
Just for fun I added one space like this:
| Code: |
| MOVE 99. 9 TO ATTENUATOR-FACTOR OF ACCES-LIAISON. |
and got the same 2 error messages that you got.
Maybe you had a typo somewhere ?? |

I tried the same line with a simple program, it is working.
