1)Using REDEFINES you can acheive this.

For ex.
10 WS-OLD-START-DATE PIC 9(8).

10 WS-NEW-START-DATE REDEFINES WS-OLD-START-DATE.
15 WS-START-YEAR PIC 9(4).
15 WS-START-MONTH PIC 9(2).
15 WS-START-DAY PIC 9(2).

Now WS-NEW-START-DATE will hold the value of WS-OLD-START-
DATE.

2)Using UNSTRING operator.

UNSTRING WS-NEW INTO WS-OLD

3)Using COMPUTE verb.

COMPUTE WS-NEW = WS-OLD.

4)Using SET statement.

SET OLD to NEW.
