SOC7 abend error will occur when we pass ALPHANUMERIC to

01 a pic x(6) value 'rajesh'.
01 b pic 9(6).

Answer / nishu
No soc7 error is not for moving numeric to alphanumeric and vice-versa, soc7 means 'bad data',it means if u are providing any arithmetic operator in place of numeric or alphanumeric data.
If you move numeric to alphanumeric value than it wont show any error,but it will give unpredictable results.
