Edited Numeric item not getting initialized I have defined a group variable in a COBOL program as Now I moves the following values to VAR1, VAR2 and VAR3 respectively.
“; ; ; ;
After this move I am initializing the group variable GROUP-VAR by the following statement INITIALIZE GROUP-VAR REPLACING NUMERIC BY ZEROS But when I display the values of variables VAR1,VAR2 and VAR3 after initialize. I find that it works for VAR1 and VAR2 as intended but VAR3 which is edited numeric remains un initialized. Value of VAR3 after initialization What could be the reason for such behavior?
