Sure sounds like a bug to me. At least for 9v9 to 9.9 The rules for 99 to xx are a little more stringent. Just to make sure, can you post the sending and receiving group items - and tell us exactly what does end up in the receiving items. -----Original Message----- From: John Culleton [mailto:John@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2015 10:00 AM To: open-cobol-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Limitations on move corresponding and on display usage. I tried a short cut to printing out a indexed-sequential record. I gave the LINE SEQUENTIAL receiving record fields the same fields except I changed some pic clauses from 9(6)v99. to 9(6).99. or from 99 to XX. Then I used MOVE CORRESPONDING from one record to another. that didn't work. In the receiving record I got strings of @ characters. But if I just renamed the receiving fields by adding "-p" and then moved FOO to FOO-P and BAR to BAR-P in the receiving record everything worked fine. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
