consider the following piece of code
01 GROUP-ITEM
05 AMOUNT-1 PIC 99V9 USAGE COMP VALUE 50
05 AMOUNT-2 PIC 9(4)V99 USAGE COMP
MOVE ZERO TO GROUP-ITEM
ADD 50 TO AMOUNT-1
what will be the content of AMOUNT-1?
a.50
b.100
c.0
d.unpredictable
Answer Posted / priyanka
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. HELLO.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 GROUP-ITEM.
05 AMOUNT-1 PIC 99V9 COMP USAGE COMP VALUE 50.
05 AMOUNT-2 PIC 9(4)V99 USAGE COMP.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
A000-FIRST-PARA.
INITIALIZE GROUP-ITEM.
MOVE 0 TO GROUP-ITEM.
ADD 50 TO AMOUNT-1.
DISPLAY AMOUNT-1
.
STOP RUN.
If we don't use " MOVE 0 TO GROUP-ITEM." condition then the answer is 50 else if we are using it then the answer is 32.0. so I think the right answer is unpredictable.
Please correct in email if I am wrong.
