Answer / suman
Redifine is a clause which reuses the existing storage space
1)redifine must be coded immediate after orginal dataname.
2)level no must be same as orginal data name.
3)level no should be 01-49.
4)data tpye length must be same.
ex:
01 a pic 9(6).
01 b redifine a pic 9(6).
01 c redifine b pic 9(6).
