No,It is not possible to execute this statement,

The syntax for the move is MOVE Identifier-1/Literal-1 to Identifier-2,Identifier-3..

You can move the one value to multiple variables but not multiple values to one variable or multiple values to multiple variables in one statement.

It will move the values of a to c and b to d respectively, a and b remaining the same. Suppose a is 6, b is 9, c is 1, d is 2,

after execution of MOVE A, B TO C, D

values would be A-6

B-9

C-6

D-9

We ll not be able to execute the statement... It will give us a error message... As per syntax... we can move 1 variable to many or 1 to i but not many to many or many to one...

No we ll not be able to execute the statement... It ll give us a error message... As per the syntax... We ca move 1 to 1 or 1 to many but we cannot move many to 1 or many to many...

So the statement u r trying to execute is wrong...

u can make seperate move... wat u r trying to do is not possible

The Closest group move statement would be MOVE CORRESPONDING.

MOVE CORRESPONDING GROUPA TO GROUPB

where,

01 GROUPA

 02 NAME PIC A(10)

 02 AGE PIC 99

02 GROUPB

 02 ST-DETAILS

    03 NAME PIC A(10)

    03 AGE PIC 99

  02 ST-MARKS

...

However, this can be used only on Group Variables and it'll move the values of the next level variables in Group A to the Group B.

No, while a single sending field can be sent to multiple targets such as

MOVE A to C, D

the only way to send mutiple sending fields to multiple target fields is via a MOVE CORRESPONDING.
