In IBM Cobol
1) In IBM's Language Environment you can dynamically
acquire storage (look up HEAP in the manual). The storage
you acquire you can use as you like. Can be an array,
therefore a dynamic array. It is a "work-around" as dynamic
arrays are not directly supported.
2) 01 SINGLE-DIM-ARRAY
05 SDA-ITEM PIC X OCCURS 30.
A single-dimension array of thirty one-byte characters.
3) 01 MULTI-DIM-ARRAY.
05 MDA-FIRST-DIM OCCURS 20.
07 MDA-SECOND-DIM OCCURS 30 PIC X.
A multi-dimension array of 20 times 30 one-byte characters.

single dimensional array-
01 year grp.
05 month pic 9(2) occurs 12times.
multi dimensional array
01 year grp.
05 month occurs 12times.
05 weak occurs 4 times.
05 days pic x(4) occurs 7 times.
dynamic array-
01 yy grp.
05 month pic x(4) occurs 10-12 times depending upon 'yygrp'.

Answer / mr.perfect
dynamic array is used to accept the value based on the
random value
dynamic array-
01 yy grp.
05 month pic x(4) occurs 10 times depending upon IDX
IDX is variable name
01 idx pic x(1).

BY seeing a program how can we say that it is static call or dynamic call
What is normalisation?
Why we need to use redefine clause when we can define the variable seperately... what is actual need....
01 A pic 9(100) find record length of it
Can we dynamically increase the size of occurs clause? i.e In case I an not sure of the size of array and want to increase the size at run time.If yes , how?

What is the difference between goback, stop run and exit program in cobol?
given the following piece of code: CALL SUB-PGM USING A, B, C. CALL SUB-PGM USING A, C, C. (a) Both CALL statements will always produce same result. (d) Both CALL statements may produce different result. (c) Compile-time error because SUB-PGM is a dataname. (d) Compile-time error because A, B, C are used twice.
