ADD Statements

The ADD statements sum numeric values and store the results in one or more data

items. When defining a field to hold a total, the size of the field should be considered.

The receiving field must be large enough to hold the result and thus avoid truncation of

nonzero digits. The forms of the ADD statements are:

ADD TO

ADD GIVING

ADD CORRESPONDING

Each form is described in the following paragraphs.

ADD TO Statement

The ADD TO statement adds together all values specified and then adds that sum to the

current value in each data item specified.

value

is either a numeric literal or the identifier of an elementary numeric data item.

result

is the identifier of a numeric data item to which value, or the sum of the values, is

added.

ADD GIVING Statement

The ADD GIVING statement adds together all values specified and then replaces the

current value of each data item specified with the sum.

value

is either a numeric literal or the identifier of an elementary numeric data item.

result

is the identifier of a numeric data item into which the sum of the values is stored.

ADD CORRESPONDING Statement

The ADD CORRESPONDING statement adds together elementary items in one group

to any corresponding items in another group and then stores the totals in the second

group used for the addition. Items correspond when they have the same names and
