ADD

This document covers the following topics:

Function
Syntax 1 - ADD Statement without GIVING Clause
Syntax 2 - ADD Statement with GIVING Clause
Example

Belongs to Function Group: Arithmetic and Data Movement Operations

Function

The ADD statement is used to add two or more operands.

This statements has two different syntax structures.

Notes:

At the time the ADD statement is executed, each operand used in the arithmetic operation must contain a valid value.
For additions involving arrays, see also the section Arithmetic Operations with Arrays.
As for the formats of the operands, see also the section Performance Considerations for Mixed Formats.

Syntax 1 - ADD Statement without GIVING Clause

ADD [ROUNDED] operand1

TO operand2

For an explanation of the symbols used in the syntax diagram, see Syntax Symbols.

Operand Definition Table (Syntax 1):

Operand	Possible Structure						Possible Formats													Referencing Permitted	Dynamic Definition
`operand1`	C	S	A		N				N	P	I	F		D	T					yes	no
`operand2`		S	A		M				N	P	I	F		D	T					yes	yes

Syntax Element Description:

Syntax Element	Description:
`operand1`	Operand(s): `operand1` is a summand
`ROUNDED`	ROUNDED Option: If the keyword `ROUNDED` is used, the result will be rounded. For information on rounding, see Rules for Arithmetic Assignment, Field Truncation and Field Rounding in the Programming Guide.
`TO operand2`	Summand and Result of Summation: `operand2` is included in the addition as a summand, and it receives the result of the operation.

operand1

Operand(s):

operand1 is a summand

ROUNDED

ROUNDED Option:

If the keyword ROUNDED is used, the result will be rounded.

For information on rounding, see Rules for Arithmetic Assignment, Field Truncation and Field Rounding in the Programming Guide.

TO operand2

Summand and Result of Summation:

operand2 is included in the addition as a summand, and it receives the result of the operation.

Example:

The statement

ADD #A(*) TO #B(*)  is equivalent to  COMPUTE #B(*) := #A(*) + #B(*)
ADD #S    TO #R     is equivalent to  COMPUTE #R    := #S + #R 
ADD #S #T TO #R     is equivalent to  COMPUTE #R    := #S + #T + #R
ADD #A(*) TO #R     is equivalent to  COMPUTE #R    := #A(*) + #R

Syntax 2 - ADD Statement with GIVING Clause

ADD [ROUNDED] operand1

GIVING operand2

For an explanation of the symbols used in the syntax diagram, see Syntax Symbols.

Operand Definition Table (Syntax 2):

Operand	Possible Structure						Possible Formats												Referencing Permitted	Dynamic Definition
`operand1`	C	S	A		N				N	P	I	F		D	T				yes	no
`operand2`		S	A		M		A	U	N	P	I	F	B*	D	T				yes	yes

* Format B of operand3 may be used only with a length of less than or equal to 4.

Syntax Element Description:

Syntax Element	Description:
`operand1`	Operands: `operand1` is a summand.
`ROUNDED`	ROUNDED Option: If the keyword `ROUNDED` is used, the result will be rounded. For information on rounding, see Rules for Arithmetic Assignment, Field Truncation and Field Rounding in the Programming Guide.
`GIVING operand2`	Result of Summation: `operand2` is only used to receive the result of the operation. It is not included in the addition. Note: If `operand2` is defined with alphanumeric format, the result will be converted to alphanumeric.

operand1

Operands:

operand1 is a summand.

ROUNDED

ROUNDED Option:

If the keyword ROUNDED is used, the result will be rounded.

For information on rounding, see Rules for Arithmetic Assignment, Field Truncation and Field Rounding in the Programming Guide.

GIVING
                      operand2

Result of Summation:

operand2 is only used to receive the result of the operation. It is not included in the addition.

Note:
If operand2 is defined with alphanumeric format, the result will be converted to alphanumeric.

Note:
If Syntax 2 is used, the following applies: Only the (operand1) field(s) left of the keyword GIVING are the terms of the addition, the field right of the keyword GIVING (operand2) is just used to receive the result value. If just a single (operand1) field is supplied, the ADD operation turns into an assignment.

Example:

The statement

ADD #S       GIVING #R  is equivalent to  COMPUTE #R := #S
ADD #S #T    GIVING #R  is equivalent to  COMPUTE #R := #S + #T
ADD #A(*) 0  GIVING #R  is equivalent to  COMPUTE #R := #A(*) + 0 
	 which is a legal operation, due to the rules defined in  Arithmetic Operations with Arrays
ADD #A(*)    GIVING #R  is equivalent to  COMPUTE #R := #A(*)  
	 which is an illegal operation, due to the rules defined in  Assignment Operations with Arrays
