reply as soon as possible

you have to use SET command to assign a value to index. MOVE can be used for other variables but not for INDEXES

Is this an interview question?

It depends......

Data items described with the following types of usage cannot be specified in a MOVE statement: INDEX

An index data item can be part of a group item referred to in a MOVE statement or an input/output statement.

whatever u specified is for MOVE CORR,
where actual movement fo INDEX values is not taking place.
you can use MOVE for the SUBSCRIPT but not for INDEX.
