Num4 = Num6 * .01;

Hi y'all

I'm looking at some code - the purpose is to put the 1st 4 digits of a
6-digit variable into a 4-digit numeric variable.

It is being done with the MOVEL opcode now.

I'm wondering about efficient alternative methods. One I can think of is
to use a data structure -

dcl-ds dsMoveL qualified;
num4 zoned(4);
num6 zoned(6) pos(1);
end-ds;

Anything simpler? Better performing?

I hope the syntax is right!! But you get the idea, right?
