What does the IS NUMERIC clause establish ?..

Answer / smijo

incase u redefine X(9) to 9(9).. and if value of x(9) is 'AAAAA' , then if you display the redefined numeric variable it will also show 'AAAAA'. so to check the numeric variable actually contains numeric data like 9999 you can use IS NUMERIC.
