Subcript is a working storage variable which gives the
occurance value of variable. Its main use is to access the
array elements.

Answer / b.rajesh

Number of occurrences of an element is known as subscript.
For storing of data we use the concept of SUBSCRIPT.

EX:-

WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 section
02 marks pic 9(2) occurs 3 times.
77 I pic p(1).

PROCEDURE DIVISION.
move 1 to I.
perform until I > 3
accept marks(I)
add 1 to I
end-perform.

Here we declare the marks(I) : I is called as subscript.

Answer / ananta

Subcript : it is occurences of same type of records.

Ex-1.

01 arry.

02 a pic x(5) occures 5 times.
03 i pic 9.

ex-2.

01 rec-1.
02 rec1 pic x(5).
02 rec2 pic x(5).
02 rec3 pic x(5).
02 rec4 pic x(5).
02 rec5 pic x(5).


these 2 example shows that ex-2 can be writen in the form
of subcript .it make fast proccessing by usin g less I/o
sources.
