01 ws-p pic 9(2).
01 ws-q pic 9(2) value 01.
01 ws-r pic 9(2) value 99.

p.d.

compute p = q + r
what will be result of p ans(00) but my question is that

how i got 10 on the place of 00.
(truncation will ocuure on right side not left).

please tell me ?

01 ws-p pic 9(2). 01 ws-q pic 9(2) value 01. 01 ws-r pic 9(2) value 99. p.d. compute p = q +..

Answer / minhaj

01 p pic 9(02) value zero.
01 q pic 9(02) value 99.
01 r pic 9(02) value 1.

p = q+r.
actual p value = 100. but p value is numeric so it writes
from right to left tuncations will be taken left side.
so p value = 00 if u want p = 10 then use justifications

Answer / reddy kanupuru

u will get 00 only.

Because any numeric move will start from decimal pont

for exp : as per the given ques

compute p = q+r =100

here the decimal point is placed at the right side .

100.

so if u move that to 99 , means before point two digits
(00) will be moved .

another exp:

q = 99v99

01 r pic 99v99 value 100.345
move r to q

the value is 00v34

01 ws-p pic 9(2). 01 ws-q pic 9(2) value 01. 01 ws-r pic 9(2) value 99. p.d. compute p = q +..

Answer / sam

01 p pic 9(02) value zero.
01 p1 pic 9(03) value zero
01 q pic 9(02) value 99.
01 r pic 9(02) value 1.
01 s pic x(02) value spaces.

p = q+r.
actual p value = 100. but p value is numeric so it writes
from right to left tuncations will be taken left side.
so p value = 00 if u want p = 10
but we cann't use justifications
since justification claue works on alphanumeric field.
so compute p1 = q+r.
move p1 to s . ( here s will contain value 10)
now move s to p.then p will be 10.

01 ws-p pic 9(2). 01 ws-q pic 9(2) value 01. 01 ws-r pic 9(2) value 99. p.d. compute p = q +..

Answer / minhaj

p = q+r actuall result is p = 10 but u want p = 10 so we
right the code as p = q+r justified right

Is This Answer Correct ?    1 Yes 1 No

01 ws-p pic 9(2). 01 ws-q pic 9(2) value 01. 01 ws-r pic 9(2) value 99. p.d. compute p = q +..

Answer / nataraj

q value is 01
r value is 99

after compute p value is 100

normally value is printed left to right so u get 10
place of p

01 ws-p pic 9(2). 01 ws-q pic 9(2) value 01. 01 ws-r pic 9(2) value 99. p.d. compute p = q +..

Answer / jayaprabhu

simple always remember that for numeric it's Left
Justification ie TAKE FROM LEFT PLACE FIRST IN LEFT

SO P=100 but as per you it shd be 00 but it will be 10

1 IS FROM LEFT SIDE MOST THEN 00 so if we move as per above
then
p is pic9(02)

so 10 first 1 is moved from left to left then 0 is moved
but since pic 9(02) only to digits get moved
