Answer / guest

01 rec1.
02 a pic x(6)
02 b redefines a.
03 c occus 6 times pic 9.----------- 6 bytes
02 d occurs 6 times.
03 e pic x(5)-----------------------30 bytes
03 f pic 999.-----------------------18 bytes
________
54 bytes
scenario 2:If we remove e and f

01 rec1.
02 a pic x(6)-------------------------------6 bytes
02 b redefines a.
03 c occus 6 times pic 9.
02 d occurs 6 times pic 9.-------------------6 bytes

Answer / milan kumar

a PIC X(6)-------------6B
b REDEFINES A ---------0B
IF WE REMOVE PIC CLUSE
D=( E PIC X(5)+F PIC 999)
D=(8B OCCURS 6 TIMES)
D----------------------48B
----------
TOTAL OF 54B

Answer / madeshh

1st of all it will give an error because of pic clause with
group item in occurs.
a.if we remove pic clause from there it will take 66 bytes.
01 rec1.
02 a pic x(6) == 6
02 b redefines a. == 0
03 c occus 6 times pic 9. == 0
02 d occurs 6 times.
03 e pic x(5) ==30
03 f pic 999. ==24
------
60
b.if we remove e,f
01 rec1.
02 a pic x(6) ==6
02 b redefines a. ==0
03 c occus 6 times pic 9. ==0
02 d occurs 6 times pic 9. ==6
