To make this we require to use redefines.
01 ws-value-change
05 WS-ALPHANUMERIC PIC X(5).
05 WS-NUMERIC REDEFINES WS-ALPHANUMERIC PIC 9(3)
V99.
011 WS-EDITED-NUMERIC PIC 9(3).99.
PROCEDURE DIVISION
MOVE '19446' TO WS-ALPHANUMERIC
MOVE WS-NUMERIC TO WS-EDITED-NUMERIC
DISPLAY WS-EDITED-NUMERIC
STOP RUN
You will get the value as 194.46

how do you reference the esds vsam file formats from cobol programs
Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
