What is the significance of the PROGRAM-ID paragraph? If
this name doesnt match with the name of the COBOL program,
does it make a difference? Is the name specified in the
PROGRAM-ID paragraph used as a name for the load module or
any such thing?

Answer Posted / pbbg

Load module will be created based on the member name which
you have used for creating code.Whether you give program id
name as member name or different, but load will be created
on the member name.

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?
