Answer / sruthi

HI Prakash,
your ans is wrong.max limit 7 times,that is max number of
dimentions.not the number of occurs.

Answer / asmara

Hi,
Here u mention it in 01 level so it will give compilation
error and ambiguity occurs so better to give from 02-49
levels will be fine
And where as the max limit for occurs Clause where
OCCURS ON DEPENDING CLAUSE will be 16,711,568 Bytes and the
table size of occurs wont go beyond this limits.
If any update information regarding this, let me inform.

Regards,
Asmara

Answer / leena_kulkarni

01 level is not used for occurs.

N can go upto 32K (32768 bytes).

Answer / sivakumar sekharannair

01 level cannot have occurs clasue. Because 01 level is
used for the entire record of a file. entire record length
can not occur again. I.E. Fields in a file can only occur
again.

Answer / julyo

In Cobol 11 there are a limit of 16,711,568 Bytes and 7 positions of numbers.
For example:
Example 1
05 WTAB-LOTE OCCURS N TIMES
INDEXED BY WIND-LOTE.
10 WTAB-LOTE-REG PIC X(250).

In this case N will be: N=16,711,568/250 , N=66846, and the compiler will accept '99999'

Example 2
05 WTAB-LOTE OCCURS N TIMES
INDEXED BY WIND-LOTE.
10 WTAB-LOTE-REG PIC X(003).

In this case N will be: N=16,711,568/3 , N=55770522, and the compiler will accept '9999999', but this value is less than N and for this second case the limit is related to the number of the positions (7).

But for sure there are the rest of the space in the working section. In the examples was assumed there aren't any other variable in the working.

I hope helped you

Answer / sumanth toom

It probably depends on the Cobol version you are using.
I dont think all cobol versions have the same working-
storage space !

Answer / vijay

in practicle its 3 dimensional only

Answer / ravi patnam

Maximum value for the N is 99999999. For example see below:

$set ans85 comp
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. "test".
AUTHOR. RAVI PATNAM.
DATE-WRITTEN. 20-02-2009.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION.
FILE-CONTROL.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 N pic 9(9) value 0.
01 test-occurs occurs 0 to 99999999
depending on N.
02 test-no pic 9(2).

PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MAIN.
move 99999999 to N.
move 11 to test-no(N).
display test-no(N).
stop run.

Answer / prakash

01 level is not used for occurs.

MAXIMUM LIMIT IS 7 TIMES IN VS COBOL 11.

MAXIMUM LIMIT IS 3 TIMES IN VS COBOL.

I have a field with data type X(10). I want to perform arithmetic operation on this field? I tried doing it by moving the value into a numeric field. but it didn't work out. I am getting a S0C7 abend. Pls let me know if there is any way of getting this done?
