What are the differences bitween cobol and cobol-2?

Answer Posted / nimsatprasad

There are at least five differences: COBOL II supports
structured programming by using in line PERFORMs and
explicit scope terminators, it introduces new features
(EVALUATE, SET .. TO TRUE, CALL .. BY CONTEXT, etc), it
permits programs to be loaded and addressed above the 16
megabyte line, it does not support many old features (READY
TRACE, REPORT-WRITER, ISAM, etc.), and it offers enhanced
CICS support.

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?
