Will the variable POS in the following code have a value of 2 or not? 01 POS PIC S9(4) COMP VAL..

Answer / shobhit garg

No, It wont have value 2. rather value of POS will be 9.

Pointer specifies the number of non blank characters moved
to the receiveing string ( in our case its NAME).

So FIRST-NAME will return 3 bytes then a space then LAST-
NAME will return 3 bytes means overall 7 bytes.

Since our POS varibale starts from 2 , so overall count for
POS will be 2 + 7 = 9
