Hi,
10 WS-V-LINE PIC X(80)
I want all 80 bytes to contain hyphen (-). I know there is a way to assign all bytes of a variable in the declaration itself, but i cant seem to recall it now.
Something like "MOVE ALL" or PIC x(80) VALUES '-' ALL
But this gives compiler error. Any help..? Thanks for suggestions. |

Hi,
Please try the following.
| Code: |
MOVE ALL '-' to var.
OR
01 var PIC X(80) VALUE ALL '-'. |
? think, the above will work. Otherwise, please tell me your compiler details. |

Sorry, I missed one more thing.
Sometimes your compiler options may be set only to accept " instead of '.
Compiler Options
" <- QUOTE
' <- APOST
So, Try with ALL "-" too.
Regards,
Sinu |
