The group variable that I am referring to here has a sub field level in the form of an array of numeric type variable, similar to the one below
| Code: |
03 WS-A.
05 WS-N PIC OCCURS 20 TIMES 9(01).
03 WS-B PIC X(20) VALUE 'ABC123456'.
|
Now let's say we move the data from WS-B to WS-A, what will be the data in WS-A |

In average, about 90% of new questions are received from those "experts" mostly trained in computer games... 
I would call them 'the iksperds"  |

So what result did you get and what result did you expect?
The Enterprise COBOL Language Reference manual tells you all about how COBOL works -- including which MOVE statements are allowed and which are not. You should bookmark it so you can reference it frequently for questions like what you posted. |

I expected an abend to occur as we are trying to move alphanumeric values to a numeric array, instead the data was moved as such. |
