Figurative-constants for composite fields #21

Open andreioff opened 4 months ago

The MOVE clause support several figurative constants. On Canvas and the BabyCobol website, it is described how these constants behave for field variables, but what about composite fields? Would something like MOVE SPACES TO A (where A is a composite field) perform a MOVE SPACES to all leaves of A?

Yes, MOVE SPACES just fills in the entire target data structure with spaces/zeroes/nulls.
