Answer Posted / anubhav
FILLER can be used to align numeric variables to word
boundaries for performance improvement.
When you intialize a group variable, filler fields are
unaffected. This can be used to our advantage. for example
in date fields-
Code:
01 date-fl.
05 mm pic xx.
05 filler pic x value '/'.
05 dd pic xx.
05 filler pic x value '/'.
05 yy pic xx.
By declaring this variable we need not move '/' as a
separator even if we use and initialize date-fl in program
many times.
