1) Move Spaces to Numeric field:
Here program would give compilation error saying Spaces
to Numeric integer did not follow the "MOVE" statement
compatibility rules.
2) Move Zeroes to Alphabetic field:
Would work fine with Movement of Zeroes to the
Alphabetic field.

ans to last ans
anything you can move to alpha...provided ..ur input is w/n
quotes...
ans to ur qn...
its quite possible by using redefine command...
the field will be sharing same memorylocation..
eg: 05 ws-num pic 99
10 ws-char redefines ws-num pic x(2)
move 12 to ws-num
move 'ab' to ws-char

Answer / sivakumar sekharannair
compile error will occure if zeroes moved to alphabetic
field or spaces moved to numeric field.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 5 Yes | 4 No |
spaces to umeric field will give data exp error soc7
bocz we cant move the spaces to numeric field
Zeroes to alphabetic we cant bcoz zeroes is numeric we cant
move into the alphabetic if we move it will give soc7
But using redefines we can moves num-alpa, alpa -num
these kind we use for copybook where in if you have one
field need to change for num/alpa.instead going for new
copybook .

Answer / thavasi
all above answers are incorrect.
Move SPACES to numeric field:
=============================
Moving spaces/non-numeric to numeric won't give any
compilation error or S0C7.
S0C will occur only when u do computation with non-numeric data.
ZERO to alphabetic field:
========================
MOVing ZEROS to alphabetic - will result in compilation error.
