Hi,

That is wrong answer. we can get that result when we MOVE A
TO B. result is 1234.
because A is declared as alphanumeric and B is declared as
numeric but here A is intialized all numeric values(1234)
only and move to the B is also numeric So not possible to
get any abend.

Answer / mithlesh

It is not possible to move alphanumaric to numaric data type
it will throw soc7 error at runtime.

Sco7 is the abend . which come when mismatch problem
occured.

Answer / subra kondaveeti

Hello All, Move a alpha numeric field to Numeric fields doesn't necessarily gives a soc7 because it depends upon the what the alpha-numeric field contains.
for example value of 'ABCD' in teh alpha-numeric field ALSO MOVES 1234 to numeric field. if you look at the assembly instruction produced for the move statement is

moven which means ignore the zone portion of each byte and move the numeric value of the byte. but it can give soc7 if you move '----' to numeric field because it tries to move x'CACACACA' to numeric field. if you look at the numeric portion of every byte is 'A' and hence can't be moved

Answer / satish kumar

hello all, yes it is possible to move alphanumeric to
numeric but not numeric to alphanumeric.if we are moving
alphanumeric character "abcd" to numeric. The compiler
accepts the first three characters as same and the remaining
last character it takes ascii value/code of last character 'd'.

pgm1: 77 a pic x(4) value "abcd".
77 b pic 9(4) value zeros.
move a to b.
o/p: abc4

pgm2: 77 a pic 9(4) value 1234.

77 b pic x(4).
move a to b.
o/p: 1234

in this case the compiler can move the numeric values to
alphanumeric directly.
