Newbie Question

Hello all,

I had this small cobol routine dropped on my desk and need to convert
it into a vb app, but I am not all that familiar with most of cobol. I
can read most of it and decipher what is going on, but having trouble
with this move.

var1 pic 9 comp.
var2 pic 9(10)

If var2 had the value of 138755482 and

MOVE VAR2 TO VAR1 is executed, what is actually stored in var1.

I apologize if this is a no brainer.

Thanks in advance.

Peace.

.
