Answer / chandrababu
We will get 123 not AB3..why because
A = +1 J = -1
B = +2 K = -2
C = +3 L = -3
D = +4 M = -4
E = +5 N = -5
F = +6 O = -6
G = +7 P = -7
H = +8 Q = -8
I = +9 R = -9
So will get 123 for ABC..

In a program, there are 2 sections defined say SECTION-A and SECTION-B. There is a paragraph say CALC-INT in both the sections. If this para has to be called directly for SECTION-A, then PERFORM CALC-INT will not work as it is present in both sections. How the PERFORM statement has to be coded here?

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?
