Hi,

Type N can only take digits not alphabets.

The difference between type N and I is that in type N the digits are treated are characters and acts according to length.

Execute below code and i hope it helps you understand:


data: a(10) type c,
      b(10) type n,
      c type i.

 a = '300'.
 b = c = 300.

write:/ a,
      / b,
      / c.
