Answer / shinoy sansilavose

it occupies one additional byte when it is specified with
signed variable declaration.

Example:

01 ws-num pic s9(04) sign trailing separate.

move '+1234' to ws-num
then the value will be stored as +1234.

If there are two copybooks which have same variables and we are using both the copybooks in our program. will there be an error and if i move values to the variable which copybook varibales gets the values i move in.
