Can someone help me out in finding the logic to move a variable of data type 9(2)v9(4) to x(10). I'm moving because I have do string manipulations with that.

Why not the MOVE statement?

What have you tried and not gotten working?

Hello and welcome to the forum,

As COBOL does not support "string"s, how do you need to manipulate one?

Also, 9(2)v9(4) is not the same length as x(10), so what should happen?

If you show some sample "input" and the "output" you want from the sample input, someone may have a suggestion.

A {9(2)v9(4)} to B {x(10)}.

if you need keep the dot. (.), i guess you want to display / show the value on screen. right?
a temp varaible is needed. C Z9.9(4)

Select all

MOVE SPACES TO B
MOVE A to C
MOVE C TO B.

hope it works.
