One more advantage of redefines is that we can use the same
value with different declarations.
For Example
lets say we receive input value as 'b123'. b is blank
and we want to display it as 01.23 in the spool. This can
be done with redefines as follows.
WORKING-STORAGE section
01 LEARNING
05 WS-RECIEVE-VAL PIC X(4).
05 WS-RECIEVE-RED REDEFINES WS-RECIEVE-VAL PIC 9(2)V
(2).
01 WS-FOR-DISPLAY PIC 9(2).9(2).
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE 'b123' TO WS-RECIEVE-VAL
MOVE WS-RECIEVE-RED TO WS-FOR-DISPLAY
DISPLAY WS-FOR-DISPLAY
STOP RUN.

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?
