Gadi, Value clause will help only for the first MOVE command. His problem is definitely A not numeric as Cobol uses ZAP=Zero target with PD and ADD PACK.

If you add a 'value 0' clause to the variable definition, everything will be ok. Gadi -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel A. McLaughlin Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 2:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: COBOL variable conversion If you are moving 3 numerics into a defined variable of 4 characters, doesn't it move right justified? Wouldn't that leave a blank as the first character, thus causing the S0C7? Not a COBOL programmer, just a thought.
