Answer / parvatraj m bhuti

first we have to initialize the letters a=1,b=2,....
like that z=26..

then we have to read the variable v pic x(4)( which may be
abcd or any other) from input

Then we have to un string the variable v into 4 other
variables as a1,a2,a3,a4.

then
compute x1= (a1*10)+a2;
compute x2= (x1*10)+a3;
compute x3= (x2*10)=a4;

Then display ('answer is = ", x3);
That will be the answer.

Answer / kamaldeep

We can use:
INSPECT ws-var1 CONVERTING 'ABCD' TO '1234'.
this will replace a with 1, b with 2, c with 3 & d with 4

Answer / prasad bhavanasi

through EVALUATE WE CAN GET THE output wt asked the q.


if a=1,b=2,o=15,z=26...etc if u want fulfil this kind of
requirment thru only EVALUATE ONLY.....In interviews this
type questions asks only for ur thinking...thats it...no
need to think very deep...all the best

Answer / prasad

i need a program by giving input as a abcd in any randem order
but i need a output as 1234 related to abcd. i.e,. a for


ex a=1,b=2,c=3 like this
or

c=3c<b,b<a.

Answer / krishnan

EVALATE ABCD
WGEN 'ABCD'
DISPLAY '1234'
WHEN 'BCDA'
DISPLAY '1234'
Like that we will try i this is not a proper method but
they need only the output is 1234 means we try this also

In EBCDIC, how would the number 1234 be stored?
