How to delete a front spaces in a data-name/variable in
cobol
Example:-
01 data-name-1 PIC x(20) value " cobol language".
01 data-name-2 PIC x(20).
MOVE data-name-1 to data-name-2.
would like the value of data-name-2 is "cobol language".
Answer Posted / varun v
we can use "Inspect Tallying" also for the same. I guess
this one is more effective.
Working storage Variable:
01 data-name-1 PIC x(20) value " cobol language".
01 data-name-2 PIC x(20).
01 WS-TALLY1 PIC 9(02) VALUE ZERO.
Procedure Dvision:
Inspect data-name-1 Tallying WS-TALLY1 for leading
spaces
Move data-name-1(WS-TALLY1+1 : 20-WS-TALLY1) to
data-name-2.
Now data-name-2 should have
Value 'cobol language'.
