Hi,
I am struggling to solve this problem in COBOL
The requirements is
Two data items
XHR-SRA1 is defined as x(10). and
XHR-SRA2 is defined as 9(10) comp-3.
There is no guarantee that XHA-SRA1 always contains the same length value(can be 123 , 1234, 12345.....)
when I move XHR-SRA1 value to XHA-SRA2,
for example
XHA-SRA1 = 12345678
MOVE XHA-SRA1 TO XHA-SRA2 then
the value in XHA-SRA2 i am getting 1234567800
The data what I need is 0012345678 in the computational field. |

Kris_madras,
Try this
| Code: |
01 XHR-SRA1 PIC X(10).
01 XHR-SRA2 PIC 9(10) COMP-3.
01 WS-TALLY PIC S9(04) COMP.
01 WS-LEN PIC S9(04) COMP.
01 WS-TEMP PIC 9(10).
INSPECT FUNCTION REVERSE(XHR-SRA1) TALLYING WS-TALLY
FOR LEADING SPACES
COMPUTE WS-LEN = LENGTH OF XHR-SRA1 - WS-TALLY
MOVE ZEROES TO WS-TEMP (1 : WS-TALLY)
MOVE XHR-SRA1(1 : WS-LEN) TO
WS-TEMP (WS-TALLY + 1 : WS-LEN)
MOVE WS-TEMP TO XHR-SRA2
|
Hope this helps...
Cheers
