You can initialize an array in several ways based on the
values in the array.
If you know the values in the array already, then you can
do it through REDEFINE clause. I will give an example here.
05 MONTHS-VAL PIC X(36)
VALUE 'JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec'.
05 MONTHS REDEFINE MONTHS-VAL PIC X(3)OCCURS 12 TIMES.
If you want to initialize at run time based on the user
input, then you can pass the values via ACCEPT statement
(online) /SYSIN DD statement (batch) and initialize the
COBOL array.
If you want to initialize with default values then you can
do it using INITIALIZE verb but be careful doing so.
