Hi all,

in a UNION statement, can i put two types of variables, at the same UNION like this??

Select all

DCL 1 * UNION,               
      2 W_AUX      CHAR(001),
      2 W_AUX_BIT  BIT (001);

PL/I ENTERPRISE...

Yes. Remember, though, that when you refer to the bit variable, the Enterprise compiler will generate instructions to set the "slack" (unused) bits of the character variable to '0'B;
