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?

Answer / quasar chunawala

You cannot perform Arithmetic Operations on Textual
Character Data.

01 WS-TEXT PIC X(02) VALUE '15'.

ADD +1 TO WS-TEXT

This is a S0C-7(Data Exception in COBOL).

If you still want to acheive this effect, I suggest you do
it this way -

01 WS-TEXT PIC X(02) VALUE '15'.
01 WS-NUMBER REDEFINES WS-TEXT PIC 9(02).

ADD +1 TO WS-NUMBER
