I dont think so. Correct answer out of 4 options should be invalid move. This code will fail in compilation itself as the value clause is not compatible with the type. If you still have doubts try it out.

I tried this out using microfocus cobol and got that the value of W-B after move is b23.75 where b indicates space. Hence the ans is b.

The answer is b. b23.75

w-A: 9(3)v99  = 23.75
w-B  zz9v99   = 123.45

output:

Z is replaced with Blank so output be, b.

FYI:
refer cobol ref book mk roy, page no 76.

Answer is :  b23.75
Bacause W-A 's original value is 023.75
           & W-B's original value is  123.45

After moving W-A's value to W-B Z replaces the 0 as blank.
