Few differences I can list down as following
1)Originally and still mostly Cobol is structured prog
langualge. Offcour se there are now a days OOD concepts in
cobol also. Bust still baasically it is structured prog.
lang. On the other hand Object Orientation is the base of
Java.
2) Cobol is developed for and still used for Business
Processing. You can have your business processing modules,
DB interaction modules in cobol. I haven't heard cobol used
for any system level prog or web developement or UIs. But
Java can be used along all layers of application from
presentation to business layers. Also now a days Sun has
developed JMV using Java itself.
3) Cobol compilers are platform dependent I suppose. Java
is platform independent.
4) Cobol is a lunguage as such but looking at the current
developmet Java has become more than a lunguage, a platform.
5) Cobol is not providing not many built in functions,
libraries like java

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?
