One doubt: Is it not necessary to put $ for character variable (idnum) in put statement ?
@2 Deepak. not necessary to put $ in put statement.
No need for another $ value in the put statement. IDNUM inherits $ from the set statement.
@deepak, yes this is not necessary to put $ symbol for character value in put statement..
