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.
Answer Posted / jagan
There won't be any error if we have similar variables in
different copybooks and use them in a same program. One
thing i would like to ensure here is before using a copybook
variable in a program , you will need to mention the name of
the copybook followed by the variable...
eg., there are 2 copybooks. RESIDENT and OFFICE and both
of them have the variable ADDRESS in it .
(i) RESIDENT
(ii) OFFICE
We need to refer them in the program by
RESIDENT-ADDRESS and OFFICE-ADDRESS.
In case any data is to be moved to these fields then you can
do it by below stmts.
MOVE PERM-ADD TO RESIDENT-ADDRESS
MOVE TEMP-ADD TO OFFICE-ADDRESS
Hence there shouldn't be any problem in referring to similar
fields in different copybooks .
