Answer Wiki:
It has been close to 20 years since I have done any cobol programming, so this may not be what you are looking for. From looking at http://en.allexperts.com/q/Cobol-1443/move-differing-field-types.htm I think that all you need to do is move it from one field to another and cobol will take care of the conversion. Sort of like doing a MOVE or MOVEL in RPG.
