MOVE - Numeric Field to Integer
This MOVE instruction converts the contents of the numeric source into an integer compatible format and then places it in the destination integer variable. The instruction uses the following format:
|

Where:
label
Optional. A Program Execution Label.
source
Required. A Numeric Variable or Literal that serves as the source operand.
sep
Required. A comma or one of the following prepositions: BY, TO, OF, FROM, USING, WITH, IN, or INTO.
dest
Required. An NTEGER variable that serves as the destination operand.
Flags Affected: EOS, OVER
Note the following:
The contents of the {source} are rounded before transfer to {dest} but the {source} remains unchanged.
The contents of the {source} are converted into an equivalent hex value and then moved into {dest}. If the hex value is larger than {dest}, the most significant (high order) bytes that do not fit are lost and the EOS Condition flag is set.
See Note 2 under MOVE - Character String to Integer for information regarding storage of INTEGER variables on various systems.
