Hi Santhosh,
have you tried the usage of VALUE ALL while declaring the variable. |

01 B pic x(100) value all '*'.
this will fill B with *. |

You think wrong. You can use VALUE ALL '*' for the definition of B, but there is no way to use a REDEFINES clause to achieve what you are wanting. |

The only way I can see this working is -
| Code: |
01 B PIC X(100) VALUE ALL '*'.
01 FILLER REDEFINES B.
03 A PIC X(02).
03 FILLER PIC X(98).
|
Variable A will equal '**'.

Hi,
Requirement is 01A PIC X(2) value '**'
Now second variable is 01 B PIC X(100)
restriction is that without using intilization variable or move statement
the value of a store into B with all 100 picture clause |

Your requirement cannot be satisfied. Initialization or MOVE is required to do this. How many times will we have to tell you before you understand this? |

Why is there a restriction on what you can or cannot use to achieve the goal.
Who was stupid enough to post this restriction.
Is this an interview / homework question. |

Hello,
| Quote: |
| Is this an interview / homework question. |
Most likely - and a fairly meaningless one at that - as posted. . .
Possibly the interviewer asked something similar and this is what made it to the forum. . .
Once upon a time one could propogate the *'s by using something like the following. . .
| Code: |
01 B.
03 FILLER PIC X(02) VALUE '**'.
03 A PIC X(98).
MOVE B TO A.
|
This worked due to the way the mvc was processed internally. . .
Actually, only 1 * was needed. . . |
