When one of the operands is neither class alphanumeric nor class alphabetic, that operand is processed as follows: If you move an alphanumeric field to a numeric field, this is valid in '85 ansi/iso cobol *if and only if* the alphanumeric field contains an integer value (signed or unsigned). No, that move is not valid.
Look at table 44. Valid and invalid elementary moves. Yes we can move alphanumeric to numeric & the vice versa.
Cannot move alphabetic to numeric & the viceversa. Cobol allows to move alphanumeric variables to numeric variables. Alphabetic to numeric move is not alllowed.
To expand upon my earlier post: The cobol language reference manual (link at the top of the page) section 6. 2. 24. 2 states that when doing an elementary item move, and the receiving field is numeric, and the sending field is alphanumeric, the sending field is treated as an unsigned integer. Cobol allows to move alphanumeric variables to numeric variables.
Alphabetic to numeric move is not alllowed. Can we move packed decimal to alphanumeric in cobol? A packed decimal field can be treated as alphanumeric;
As long as jithucse doesn't expect to use the packed decimal field as a number there's no problem. That is correct robert. 46 rows> > > >after move the alphanumeric into numeric the numeric variable contain > > > >value as > > > >7 0 > > > >i have properly initialize the numeric variable.
