Hi,

or may not null.

values likewise.

Answer / shaik
If the Resultant Table value is nulls(Garbage) then
Embedded SQL abends with the SQLCODE -305, even we can
handle this to not abend, but we cann't move the garbage to
target value, so, before moving the data to target field,
we need to make sure whether it has nulls or not, we can
identify the feild holds null or not by checking the Null
indicator(Ned to define with half-ward binary format in ws
section) value with < = 0. if less than then null
available, if 0 then nulls not available. Generally id
nulls are available, we will initializa the value then we
will move this to target.
