Answer / anil prajapati
Table/array can be defined in cobol by using occurs with
times clause
like
working-=storage section.
01 tab1 value 'anilkumarprajapati'.
03 tab2 pic x(3) occurs 6 times indexed by i.
procedure division.
display tab2(i).
stop run.
output will be dsiplayed like
ani
lku
....

Answer / thaya
To define a table use occur clause ..
01 WT-TABLE-DATA.
03 WT-TAB-PARM OCCURS 99 TIMES
INDEXED BY WT-TAB-IDX.
05 WT-TAB-PARMREC.
10 TBL-PARM-UPDT-CD PIC X(02).
10 FILLER PIC X(01).
10 TBL-STATUS-FLAG PIC X(01).
10 FILLER PIC X(76).
we can use "depending on" keyword with occure clause to
limit our occurences in output.

To define a table using occurs clause..
working -storage section.
01 table.
*for one dimensional array
02 table-name pic size() occurs n times.
03 field1-name pic size.

what is the difference between Plan & package?
how can we get current dat and time thru cobol pgm
What is the difference between PIC 9.99 and 9v99?
how the control comes back from subprogram to mainprogram
I have the file which is having the extension no as records. sample file will look like below. 2310 3410 3256 4350 3781 5408 I need to replace the record which is starting with 3 to 5 (i.e) 3410 to 5410. How can we do it through cobol and cobol-db2 program? I need the possible logic?
Describe the cobol database components?
What is the difference between subscript and index?
what r the types of perform statement
what happens if parmparameter passes zero bytes to the program
What are various search techniques in cobol? Explain.
consider the following PROCEDURE DIVISION entry OPEN EXTEND IN-FILE identify the correct statement a.organization of IN-FILE is sequential and records can be added in the beginning b.organization of IN-FILE is sequential and records can be added in the end c.organization of IN-FILE is indexed and records can be added in the beginning d.organization of IN-FILE is indexed and records can be added in the end
We are using the searching a table which is indexed, once the key is found, how can we get the occurance at which the key was found.
