Can we move X(9) to 9(9). If yes what are the ways for doing this?..

Answer / varun v

yes you can..use REDEFINES for the same purpose.

Working storage section:-
01 WS-VARX PIC X(9) VALUE SPACES.
01 WS-VARN REDEFINES WS-VARX PIC 9(9).

Now you can move X(9) variable to WS-VARX.Eventually it is
moved to the 9(9) variable WS-VARN.

Answer / nidhi

The NUMVAL function returns the numeric value represented by the
alphanumeric character string specified in an argument. The function
strips away any leading or trailing blanks in the string, producing a
numeric value that can be used in an arithmetic expression.
