I have a field with data type X(10). I want to perform
arithmetic operation on this field? I tried doing it by
moving the value into a numeric field. but it didn't work
out. I am getting a S0C7 abend. Pls let me know if there is
any way of getting this done?

Use REDEFINE.
Example:
01 NUMBER-X PIC X(10).
01 NUMBER-N REDEFINES NUMBER-X
PIC 9(10).
COMPUTE A = NUMBER-N + B
This will surely work.
