a. Can the OPTIONAL clause in COBOL only be coded for input
files?
b. If it is coded for files opened in OUTPUT, I-O or EXTEND
mode, will it give a compilation error?
c. If there are no compilation errors and if such files are
not coded in the JCL, will the OPEN statement run fine when
these files are opened?
d. How will a WRITE statement work for the above files?

OPTIONAL clause can be specified for files opened INPUT,
OUTPUT, I-O and EXTEND modes. It will not give any
compilation error.
If we do not have DD statements for such files during
execution, the following file status code would be obtained
when we open the file.
INPUT (JCL RC = 0)
------
Open statement will give file status of '05'. Open is
successfule but file is not present.
EXTEND (JCL RC = 0)
------
Open statement give file status of '96'. No DDNAME present.
I-O (JCL RC = 0)
------
Open statement give file status of '96'. No DDNAME present.
WRITE (JCL SOC4 ABEND)

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?
