Moves are only valid between fields and array elements with the same numeric length defined. Factor 2 and the result field entries can specify numeric fields, numeric array elements, or numeric arrays; at least one must be an array or array element. The numeric types can be binary, packed decimal, or zoned decimal but need not be the same between factor 2 and the result field.
Factor 2 can contain a numeric literal if the result field entry specifies a numeric array or numeric array-element:
Decimal positions are ignored during the move and need not correspond. Numeric values are not converted to account for the differences in the defined number of decimal places.
The figurative constants *BLANK, *ALL, *ON and *OFF are not valid in factor 2 of a MOVEA operation on a numeric array.
