MOVE_ON_RIGHT 'Constant' VarId

MOVE_ON_RIGHT *ALL'X' VarId

This instruction is used to:

- Move the value of a field to another field, starting on the right side.
- Transfer a numeric data item into an alphanumeric field, and vice versa.
- Assign timestamp fields.

It can also be used to fill a field with the same character: *ALL 'character'.
