$ZZ,ZZ$.99 - wouldnt I have to put in something like PIC z(4).99 or something
like that?

==> PIC $$$,$$9.99,  taking up 10 positions, would be a good choice.
But make sure that you have the correct number of digits. Is it 5 before
the point or is it 7? you want. The above picture is for 5.

But when I attempted this one and similar ones, it came up with the same
error as before.

make sure that you have valid data in the item you are moving FROM.
