Should be the same as saying fielda = fielda - in other words a no-op.

Reviewing some RPGIV code and found a line:

C Z-ADD fielda fielda



Yes, factor 2, and the result columns are the same variable name. This
appears twice (for different fields) as part of a segment of code that seems
to do much more work than it needs to accomplish a calculation. Anyway,
having a little trouble getting my head around what the results of this
would be. It is in a much larger loop that processes different records each
iteration.
