RE: Implicit move

Thanks Charles for your explanation.
Iam asking the use of implicit move and explicit move in  Production support 
projects( in RPG Context).
I posted to Java by mistake.
Thanks,

Then an implicit move in my mind would be where for example, you have a field 
in a database file named DESCR and define the a similar field in a 
printer/display file with the same name. You can then read the DB file and 
write the data to the display/printer without explicitly MOVEing the data.

READ MYFILE
EXFMT DSPREC

instead of
READ MYFILE
MOVE IDESCR DDESCR
EXFMT DSPREC


Implicit moves are generally frowned upon now-a-days. 


HTH,
