Hi All,
I'm currently working on the project to convert Cobol coding to C,C++ coding.
I have a line like
MOVE LOW-VALUES TO ws-storage.
What is LOW-VALUES refers in C,C++?
Please provide your ideas.

what does the cobol manual tell about LOW-VALUES ?
C/C++ is not aware of <COBOL SPECIAL NAMES>
just find out from the manual the LOW-VALUES <value> and use it in the proper initialization construct

When I tell somebody to RTFM or STFW I usually have the page open in another tab/window of my browser,
so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort

You can only do such a conversion if you have a very deep understanding of both languages. Nuff said...

LOW-VALUES is the lowest value in the collating system, so binary zero (unless you have SPECIAL-NAMES) with a length equal to the length of the field to which it is being moved.
