Answer / snehatechm

occurs clause of an array cant be coded in 01 level.
it should always be coded in work area 2

01 xxx-yyy.
03 XX-YYY-ARRAY OCCURS 10 TIMES.
05 XX-YYY-MEM1 COMP-3 PIC S9(9).
05 XX-YYY-MEM2 COMP-3 PIC S9(9)V9.

Answer / snehatechm

All ryt.Answer is no.array elements will not be initialised
automatically.
you can initialise the table with INITIALIZE verb.
INITIALIZE XXX-YYY
this will initialize your alphanumeric with space and
numeric with '0'.
apart from this by moving also u can initialise.

Answer / rakesh

I know we cant use occurs in 01 level. My question was, if
we initialize 01 level variable, in ur example, xxx-yyy,
will all the elements be initialized as well (xx-yyy-array,
xx-yyy-mem1 and xx-yyy-mem2)?

Answer / vaneesh

Hi All

we can intialize the array item by simply intialize 01
level. It is irrespective of occours, clause.

If we write INTITIALIZE XXX-YYY
it will initailize all the elements of the array
irrespective of its occourance.

Answer / chandrababu naidu

we can't use array or table in 01 level item.
(or)
01 name.
02 name2 pic x(5) occurs 10 times.
INITIALIZE NAME.----> means the variable name contains 'spaces'.

Answer / nag(igate)

hi rakesh and sneha

we can initialize the array at group level.

01 xxx-yyy VALUE "ABCDEFGH"
03 XX-YYY-ARRAY OCCURS 2 TIMES.
05 XX-YYY-MEM1 PIC X(2).
05 XX-YYY-MEM2 PIC X(2).
the initialize value should depend on the number of times
the, occurs clause repeat.

Answer / sharath

Assuming we have to initialize the array variables with
zeroes.
MOVE ALL '0' to the '01' group variable will initialize the
whole array.
