Answer Posted / vish
the syntax is wrong..a couple of mistakes...
1. The level of C is 02 which means it is a sublevel of B.
hat being the case B becomes the group level item and hence
the PIC clause for B is invalid.
2. The conditional statement is wrong, correct sysntax can
be either ib below:
IF (B IS NUMERIC)
ADD 10 TO C
IF B IS NUMERIC
ADD 10 TO C
Basically 'IS' is missing from the statement.

I have a program with an Array of 5000 occurences which is being passed from 5 sub levels to the front end screen. Thess 5 programs using each 5*2 = 10 different arrays with size as 5000. This is causing the transaction to utilize more storage consupmtion. I am looking to reduce the storage consumption. As part of that initially i thought Dynamic array may solve my problem. After viewing the comments given i see its same as normal array. IS there any other way we can resolve this issue?
