In COBOL, the "UNSTRING" statement can generate an "OVERFLOW" exception if the result field is _____.

  • Declared as a numeric field
  • Defined without a USAGE clause
  • Missing the "END-UNSTRING" delimiter
  • Not large enough to accommodate the extracted data
If the result field in the "UNSTRING" statement is not large enough to accommodate the extracted data, an "OVERFLOW" exception can be generated. This occurs when the target field is insufficient to hold the result of the string manipulation operation.
