how you read control card into array?..

Answer / shwetha

Consider the Controll Card(Sysin) as an infile to the
program.

JS010 EXEC PGM=pgm,
REGION=0M
STEPLIB DD DSN=Loadlib,
DISP=(SHR,KEEP,KEEP)

INFILE DD DSN=xxxx.xxxx.SYSIN(control card),
DISP=(SHR,KEEP,KEEP)
(Where xxxx.xxxx.SYSIN -Sysin PDS)

Read it as an infile and download it to the Table defined
in your Program.

Answer / kssb78

Yes Shweta is correct.

The alternate way to execute is to read the inputs in
control card DD statement SYSIN is using a ACCEPT statement
and move it into a working storage variable

Later using a subscript / index we can move the value into
an array.

I have a program with an Array of 5000 occurences which is being passed from 5 sub levels to the front end screen. Thess 5 programs using each 5*2 = 10 different arrays with size as 5000. This is causing the transaction to utilize more storage consupmtion. I am looking to reduce the storage consumption. As part of that initially i thought Dynamic array may solve my problem. After viewing the comments given i see its same as normal array. IS there any other way we can resolve this issue?
