Problem:
Does this move line up correctly ??? In other words the receive field size matches the sending field size?
WF-DOLLAR-AMT PIC S9(15)V99 PACKED-DECIMAL.
D-DOLLAR-AMT PIC ZZZ,ZZZ,ZZZ,ZZZ,ZZZ.99-.
MOVE WF-DOLLAR-AMT TO D-DOLLAR-AM
Resolution:
It should. The signed field should be interpreted by compiler code to be 15 significant digits and two decimal digits. The editing field will be able to receive the same number
of digits as those sent. Zero suppression will only be used if the value had leading Zeroes, so there should be 15 significant digits and two decimal digits. The sign will be carried by the compiler and placed into the final output. If you were to display the numbers, they would contain all numeric digits. For a positive number the number would be displayed as 1234.56 For a negative number it would be displayed as 1234.56- because of the editing for the sign field.
