one correction in Jagan's answer..

MOVE 1 to A(I)

we should not use [] for array in cobol.

Answer / jagan

using PERFORM statements we can move a value to an array
using the MOVE verb.

Below is an example of In-Line Perform where we are moving
a value to an array A

01 Array
05 A PIC X(10) occurs 10 times.

PERFORM VARYING i from 1 by 1 until i > 10
MOVE 1 TO A[I]
END-PERFORM
