What is the difference between a subscript and an index in a table definition?..

Answer / mftech

Subscript is the occurance number in the arrary of element.
Fr e.g., an array has only one itme that repeats for 20
times, in order to refer to 10th itme in this array, you
can say ITEM(20). This '20' can be replaced by a WS
variable having value = 20.

Index: It is the displacement from the begining. if you
remember, when we use Index in a loop, then we do not code
Move 2 to WS-INDEX. We have to code. We need to set the
index to zero and then increament.

What is the difference between a subscript and an index in a table definition?..

Answer / satheesh gova

subscript specifies the no of occurances of a table or
array where as index specifies the displacement of a
table,subscript is working storage variable but index is not
working storage section variable,by using arithematic
operations we can increment and decrement the value of
subscript,but by using SET verb we can get it in index.
