A, B, C...Z

A through Z are index work variables for use in ILF statements. They are floating-point variables that can have up to 15 places to the left of the decimal and up to 15 to the right, subject to a maximum of 15 total digits. These fields and their related fields, integer variables AI, BI, CI...ZI, are the only fields that can be used in a CALC statement.

          SET      --- A                          =  TAP INVOICE QUANTITY
          SET      --- B                          =  TAP INVOICE PRICE
          CALC     C = A*B

A though Z variables can also be used as index work variables in BEG LOOP/END LOOP and SET TEMP statements and in place of occurrence numbers and/or appearance numbers wherever such numbers occur.. For example,

          BEG LOOP A  = 001 TO 010  STEP 001
          SET      TAP WORK COUNTER           A   =      0
          END LOOP A
