Give some advantages of REDEFINES clause?..

Answer / mahathiaz

1. You can REDEFINE a Variable from one PICTURE class to
another PICTURE class by using the same memory
location.
2. By REDEFINES we can INITIALISE the variable in
WORKING-STORAGE Section itself.
3. We can REDEFINE a Single Variable into so many sub
variables. (This facility is very useful in solving Y2000
Problem.)

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?
