We can do this in multiple ways.
1) Using UNSTRING
2) COMPUTE
3) Also, REFERENCE MODIFICATION i.e, if XYZ is a variable with value 'all interview' then
A = XYZ(1:3) moves the first 3 characters of XYZ variable to A.
i.e, A value will be 'all'

1)Using REDEFINES you can acheive this.
For ex.
10 WS-OLD-START-DATE PIC 9(8).
10 WS-NEW-START-DATE REDEFINES WS-OLD-START-DATE.
15 WS-START-YEAR PIC 9(4).
15 WS-START-MONTH PIC 9(2).
15 WS-START-DAY PIC 9(2).
Now WS-NEW-START-DATE will hold the value of WS-OLD-START-
DATE.
2)Using UNSTRING operator.
UNSTRING WS-NEW INTO WS-OLD
3)Using COMPUTE verb.
COMPUTE WS-NEW = WS-OLD.
4)Using SET statement.
SET OLD to NEW.

Answer / raju
Let the variables and their values be A = 20 and B = 30
and we need to swap them as A = 30 and B = 20 without MOVE statement
BEFORE AFTER
A B A B
Way 1: COMPUTE A = A+B 20 30 50 30
COMPUTE B = A-B 50 30 50 20
COMPUTE A = A-B 50 20 30 20
Way 2: COMPUTE A = A*B 20 30 600 30
COMPUTE B = A/B 600 30 600 20
COMPUTE A = A/B 600 20 30 20
