hello all, yes it is possible to move alphanumeric to
numeric but not numeric to alphanumeric.if we are moving
alphanumeric character "abcd" to numeric. The compiler
accepts the first three characters as same and the remaining
last character it takes ascii value/code of last character 'd'.
pgm1: 77 a pic x(4) value "abcd".
77 b pic 9(4) value zeros.
move a to b.
o/p: abc4
pgm2: 77 a pic 9(4) value 1234.
77 b pic x(4).
move a to b.
o/p: 1234
in this case the compiler can move the numeric values to
alphanumeric directly.
