Hey all,

Have a query:

I have 2 fields of a COBOL program:

1) AAA0AA 2) 000

The first field is alphanumeric....The second is a counter value.

I need a combination of these two.

For example:

AAA0AA000
AAA0AA001
AAA0AA002

Please give me an idea as to how I can achieve this.

Thanks and regards,
avid_lrner.

avid_lrner,

Try this

Code:


01 WS-COMBINE-FIELD.
   05 WS-ALPHA-FIELD       PIC X(06) VALUE 'AAA0AA'
   05 WS-NUM-FIELD         PIC 9(03) VALUE 0.


   DISPLAY WS-COMBINE-FIELD
   ADD +1 TO WS-NUM-FIELD


Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu
