Hi all,
I am adding one more point to all.
we can move spaces to numeric field without using redefines
also. it can be possible by Reference modification(The
compiler will then treat your WS-NUM field as alphanumeric.
The field length is not necessary).
sample prog and results are:
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. SPATONUM.
AUTHOR. MANEENDRA.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 WS-NUM PIC 99.
01 WS-STR REDEFINES WS-NUM PIC XX.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE ZEROS TO WS-NUM.
DISPLAY 'BEFORE:', WS-NUM.
MOVE SPACES TO WS-NUM(1:).
DISPLAY 'AFTER:', WS-NUM.
STOP RUN.
OUTPUT:
BEFORE:00
AFTER:
For moving numeric field to Alphanumeric field, we can pass
it directly.
