Move :- To assign the value of a data object <fl> to a variable < f2 >, use the following
statement:
MOVE < f1 > TO < f2 >.
or the equivalent statement
< f2 > = < f1 >.
The contents of < f1 > remain unchanged. < f1 > does not have to be a variable - it can also
be a literal, a text symbol, or a constant. You must always specify decimal points with a period
(.), regardless of the user's personal settings.
Multiple value assignments in the form
< f4 > = < f3 > = <f2 > = < f1 > .
Assign :- ASSIGN < f > TO < FS >.
When you assign the data object, the system checks whether the technical attributes of the
data object < f > correspond to any type specifications for the field symbol < FS >. The field
symbol adopts any generic attributes of < f > that are not contained in its own type
specification. Following the assignment, it points to < f > in memory.
