My situation is as follows.
I'm reading input from a file into the following working storage field:
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 WORK-FIELDS.
05 W1-INPUT.
10 TESTCASE-NUMBER PIC X(02).
10 PIC X(01).
10 TESTCASE-ID PIC X(18).
10 PIC X(01).
10 TESTCASE-CONTENT PIC X(20).
Depending on what the TESTCASE-ID contains, I have to eventually move the content of the TESTCASE-CONTENT field into either the AMOUNT-DECIMAL-FORMAT or the AMOUNT-DECIMAL-NUMBER field in the following copybook:
05 (*)AMOUNT.
10 AMOUNT-DECIMAL-FORMAT PIC S9(18) COMP-3.
10 AMOUNT-DECIMAL-NUMBER PIC S9(01) COMP-3.
10 AMOUNT-IN-XML-FORMAT PIC N(20).
I then have to do a call to another program which will process these parameters and fill the AMOUNT-IN-XML-FORMAT field.
Anyway, so my question is: What's the best way to move the content of my PIC X field into my S9 COMP-3 field?
Thanks in advance for your time!
