                Greetings, SQRUG

                I inherited an SQR that has the following code in a
procedure called get-timelines:

                 let $firstline = 'Y'
                 let $tl_cust_id = ' '
                .......
                 let #pbill_tot_fee_expense = 0
                 let #pbill_tot_oth_plcmnt_exp  = 0
                .......
                 move 0 to #pbill_tot_oth_plcmnt_exp
                 move 0 to #pbill_tot_fee_expense
                .......
                begin-select
                .......

                I know the procedure is to set values to 0, but I don't see
why you need to do Let and Move to the same variable.

                SQR Server Manual says that:
                LET assigns the value of an expression ('0') to a
string/numeric/date variable, and that
                MOVE moves one field ('0'?)to another field and provides the
option of edits to the field.

                Can someone explain this to me?

                As Always, TIA
