here is my requirement
A1 is alphanumeric with value 'A1B2C3D4' as defined below
05 A1 PIC X(8) VALUE IS 'A1B2C3D4'
but i need to have A2,A3 as ABCD & 1234 repectively......
A2 = ABCD
A3 = 1234
Can you please explain me what are the different ways to do it?

DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 GROUP1.
05 A1 PIC X(08)
VALUE 'A1B2C3D4'.
05 ARRAY1 REDEFINES A1 OCCURS 8 TIMES
PIC X(01).
01 ARRAY2.
05 A2 OCCURS 4 TIMES PIC X(01).
01 ARRAY3.
05 A3 OCCURS 4 TIMES PIC X(01).
01 WS-COUNT PIC 9(02)
VALUE 01.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
PERFORM MOVE-LETTERS-PARA VARYING ODD FROM 1 BY 2
UNTIL ODD > 8
* INITIALIZE THE COUNTER FOR SECOND LOOP
MOVE 01 TO WS-COUNT
*
PERFORM MOVE-NUMBERS-PARA VARYING EVEN FROM 2 BY 2
UNTIL EVEN > 8
.
.
.
MOVE-LETTERS-PARA.
MOVE ARRAY (ODD) TO ARRAY2 (WS-COUNT)
ADD 1 TO WS-COUNT
.
.
MOVE-NUMBERS-PARA.
MOVE ARRAY (EVEN) TO ARRAY3 (WS-COUNT)
ADD 1 TO WS-COUNT
.

Answer / mainframe guy
You can also do it this way:
DATA DIVISION
01 A1 VALUE 'A1B2C3D4'
05 A1-CHAR PIC X(01) OCCURS 8.
01 A2 PIC X(04) VALUE SPACES.
01 A3 PIC X(04) VALUE SPACES.
01 I PIC 9(02) VALUE ZEROS.
01 J PIC 9(02) VALUE ZER0S.
01 K PIC 9(02) VALUE ZEROS.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE 1 TO I J K
PERFORM VARYING I FROM 1 BY 1 UNTIL WS-I > 8
IF A-CHAR(I) IS NUMERIC
MOVE A-CHAR(I) TO A3(K:1)
ADD 1 TO K
ELSE
MOVE A-CHAR(I) TO A2(J:1)
ADD 1 TO J
END-IF
END-PERFORM
Now you will have A2 = ABCD and A3 = 1234
This method can be used only if you want to seperate numbers
from alphabets. Otherwise, the previous solution has to be used.
