Answer / suresh
hi naveen,
Actually we are moving 0 to group-item so it will become
zero and adding 50 to amount-1. Hence Amount-1 is 50.
please correct me if i am wrong.

IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. HELLO.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 GROUP-ITEM.
05 AMOUNT-1 PIC 99V9 COMP USAGE COMP VALUE 50.
05 AMOUNT-2 PIC 9(4)V99 USAGE COMP.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
A000-FIRST-PARA.
INITIALIZE GROUP-ITEM.
MOVE 0 TO GROUP-ITEM.
ADD 50 TO AMOUNT-1.
DISPLAY AMOUNT-1
.
STOP RUN.
If we don't use " MOVE 0 TO GROUP-ITEM." condition then the answer is 50 else if we are using it then the answer is 32.0. so I think the right answer is unpredictable.
Please correct in email if I am wrong.

For example : Input File 01 02 03 Para 900 Read infile Display Infile rec Read infile Display infile rec Read infile Display infile rec. What will be the output?
Determine the total no of bytes in the following. 01 rec1. 02 a pic x(6) 02 b redefines a. 03 c occus 6 times pic 9. 02 d occurs 6 times pic 9. 03 e pic x(5) 03 f pic 999.
