WORKING-STORAGE SECTION. 01 A PIC X(3) VALUE 'ABC' 01 B PIC 9(3). PROCEDURE DIVISION. MOVE..

Answer / chandrababu

We will get 123 not AB3..why because

A = +1 J = -1
B = +2 K = -2
C = +3 L = -3
D = +4 M = -4
E = +5 N = -5
F = +6 O = -6
G = +7 P = -7
H = +8 Q = -8
I = +9 R = -9

So will get 123 for ABC..
