Hello,

I have used MOVE CORRESPONDING for a group variable.

MOVE CORRESPONDING A TO B.

A has some occurs feilds so the movement of A to B is not happenning properly. Could any one suggest what logic should be used to use MOVE CORRESPONDING for occurs clause variable

Regards,
Raj.

well, MOVE CORRESPONDING is not considered good programming practice and should be avoided.

The documentation indicates that an occurs clause can be associated with the group items, but not with the subordinate items.

but, to help you solve your problem, show us your data definitions for the two groups.

and I will test a bit.

What exactly to you save by doing a MOVE CORRESPONDING? 5 or 6 lines of code? dbz is right. Don't do it. Code the individual MOVE statements, or MOVE the group level. The answer to your initial question about why this isn't working for you is in the COBOL Language Reference.
