Answer Posted / bejjanki
I'm answering those questions which i'm aware.
2) IS NULL is correct
6) Droptable
7) Groupby is used to club rows based on a condition, order
by is used to sort based on a column
8) 123 extents(Non-Contiguous locations)
9) Dprty is used to execute steps based on condition.
Dprty = 1 + (16*10) = 161
10) 0-4095
11) 01 Level
12) Delimiter(/*) is used to tell where our instream ends
13) sort fields=copy
14) There is a syntx error you have mentioned pic(6) here
you are not mentioning the data type..If it is PIc X(6)
Or PIC 9(6) then we can store 120056 in it.
15) Question is not clear
16) 4 bytes
17) We are not supposed to use index in WS or LK section
21) That depends on how u declare. By default it's is
stored in display format(character)
22) Handle? I haven't heard about this
23) It's used in Numeric or alphanumeric not in alphabetic
24) PIC 9(2) I mean 2 bytes
I have answered 15 out of 24...Let me know if you have any
