With the above answer we can achive decimal numeric
declaration but we will not achive double format
declaration.
To Declare double data type in COBOL we have to decalre
field with COMP-3.
Examples:
WS-NUM PIC 9(4) COMP-3. for non decimal numbers
WS-NUM1 PIC 9(4) v 99 COMP-3. For decimal values.

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?
