Hi all,

Can we modify field which is LOW-VALUE through the COBOL pgm?

Thank you for the help

ldushkin,

huh? Do you want to modify the contents of figurative constant LOW-VALUE ? Low-value reprensts the lowest ordinal position in thecollating sequence used. For the EBCDIC collating sequence, the character is X'00'; for other collating sequences, the actual character used depends on the collating sequence used.

Why don't you show what you are trying to do with an example.

Even a simple MOVE SPACES would have helped you after laying out the proper file structure.
