First thing, when write this code and compile will it
compile sucessfully. If it compiles sucessfuly then if run
JCL will it give SOC7 or not.
Did test it but got error during compliation something like
"MOVE DID NOT FOLLOW COMPATIBILITY RULES".
Ppl can add to this...

01 b pic 9(3)
Yes, you can move. Try just a move and display B. you will
get abc.
But if you go for an operation (add, move to comp variable
etc) then you will hit SOC7
