Answer / guest

we can use both goback and stop run in cobol when there is no
call statement to show termination of the program....
if we use go back it transfer control to the main program.
else we use stop run it releases the program from the main
memory give the control back to the operating system.

I have a field with data type X(10). I want to perform arithmetic operation on this field? I tried doing it by moving the value into a numeric field. but it didn't work out. I am getting a S0C7 abend. Pls let me know if there is any way of getting this done?
