Hi,

I have a field (customer id) coming from the input file. This field is a 4 Binary field. The value present in this field is 1234567892.
I am moving this value to a variable with pic clause as X(10).
If I display the destination field, it is showing 23456789_.
Space is getting filled in the last bit.
How to avoid this...

Thanks in advance.

Vkphani,

Fyi.. A 4 byte comp field CANNOT hold the value(1234567892) you are trying to move unless you compile with TRUNC(BIN) compiler option.

You can define another numeric variable and move the contents from there.

Hi vkphani,
Slight correction in Kolusu's reply it should be S9(10) COMP.
