PIC clause to hold decimal values

I have a file with 2 fields say 1st field is a indicator.2nd field is amount field.It has the values A,B,C,D.

Suppose if the indicator is A,i want to move 123.4

when B move 12.34

when c move 1.234

when d move 1234

my question is what pic clause(only one op field variable) should be used to hold all the 4 types of variables.

Declared variables as

01 a pic 9(3)v9 value 1234.
01 b redefines a pic 99v99.
01 c redefines a pic 9v999.
01 d redefines a pic 9999.
