Everything I've done with varying variables is in free-form or EVAL
statements. I've never tried a MOVE varying to fixed, so I just tried
it. Here's the code, where I put a shorter value into a varying field
that already has a value:
MOVE of a varying to fixed works as you'd expect.
But MOVE of a fixed to a varying, or a varying to a varying, doesn't
necessarily work the way you'd expect. If you have a varying result
field in the fixed-form opcodes that have a P=pad extender, the current
length of the varying result field is not changed by the operation.
D fixedvar S 10A inz('1234567890')
D varyingvar S 10A VARYING
D INZ('abc')
c move fixedvar varyingvar
varyingvar will have the value '890' (3 bytes because it's value had
been 'abc' before, and '890' because MOVE is a move-right).
