INITILIAZING A FILLER IN GROUP VARIABLE
When we initialize a group level variable, the FILLERS which are under this group variable remains unaffected. As a result, the FILLERS retain their previous content even after the INITIALIZE statement. .
For Example:-
01 GROUP-VAR.05 ELEMENT1 PIC X(25)05 ELEMENT2 PIC 9(9)05 FILLER PIC X(15)
Here if GROUP-VAR is initialized, the FILLER will not get initialized .

In such cases, we should first move spaces into the group variable and then initialize.
MOVE SPACES TO GROUP-VAR.
INITIALIZE GROUP-VAR.
