What is an index for tables?

Answer Posted / shubha

index denotes the displacement value and it is system
defined.if you are using index variable with occurs
clause,it need not have be defined in the data division.but
it should be mentioned as i.e syntax is:
levelno(02 to 49) identifier occurs n times indexed by
indxname

How do u write test cases?

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
