This MOVE instruction transfers the contents of the numeric source to the destination character variable. The instruction uses the following format:

Where:

Optional. A Program Execution Label.

dest

Required. A Character String Variable that serves as the destination operand.

Flags Affected: EOS

Note the following:

1. The transfer begins with the first physical position of the source and continues until {dest} is full or the {source} is exhausted. The transfer into {dest} begins at its first physical position. The {source} operand remains unchanged.

2. The Form Pointer (FP) of {dest} is set to one (1) and the Length Pointer (LP) is set to the last byte transferred.

3. If {dest} cannot hold all the transferred data, the EOS Condition flag is set.
