You can also do it this way:
DATA DIVISION
01 A1 VALUE 'A1B2C3D4'
05 A1-CHAR PIC X(01) OCCURS 8.
01 A2 PIC X(04) VALUE SPACES.
01 A3 PIC X(04) VALUE SPACES.
01 I PIC 9(02) VALUE ZEROS.
01 J PIC 9(02) VALUE ZER0S.
01 K PIC 9(02) VALUE ZEROS.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE 1 TO I J K
PERFORM VARYING I FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL WS-I > 8
IF A-CHAR(I) IS NUMERIC
MOVE A-CHAR(I) TO A3(K:1)
ADD 1 TO K
ELSE
MOVE A-CHAR(I) TO A2(J:1)
ADD 1 TO J
END-IF
END-PERFORM
Now you will have A2 = ABCD and A3 = 1234
This method can be used only if you want to seperate numbers
from alphabets. Otherwise, the previous solution has to be used.
