Answer / shan

Ya correct,
To be more clear,
Declare a variable with usage is index (01 WS--VAR-DISPLAY
USAGE IS INDEX)

then SET WS-VAR-DISPLAY to WS-INDEX
Display WS-VAR-DISPLAY

Answer / jswan

You can't directly display the Index. But you can create a normal numeric field in your working storage and set that to the Index.

Example:

01 WS-TABLE.
05 WS-CUSTOMER PIC X(25) OCCURS 10 INDEXED BY INDEX1.

01 WS-NUMERICS.
05 WS-INDEX-COUNT PIC 9(02) VALUE 0.

SET WS-INDEX-COUNT TO INDEX1.
DISPLAY WS-INDEX-COUNT.

Answer / naina

Yes, we can!!!
The easiest way, which would work in all versions of COBOL
is
SET W-S-VAR-PICS9(9)-USAGE-DISPLAY TO THE-INDEX-U-WANT-TO-
DISPLAY
DISPLAY W-S-VAR-PICS9(9)-USAGE-DISPLAY

At the minimum, which division of COBOL is enough to be coded?

In COBOL CALL-CALLING,if a program A is calling 3 sub- programs, dynamically, then it is said sub-programs will always will always in Initial Mode. My question is : Do we need to code CANCEL or (IS INITIAL) for dynamically called sub-programs or it is the property of Dynamically called pgms so every time sub-pgms are called they will be in initial mode. ***This question is only Dynamic call****, Please reply. Thank you in advance.
