I think this logic is sufficient to fullfill this req:
// pgm=dfsort
/*
sort fields=copy,skiprec=55000
*/
//srtin dd dsn=orig-file
//sortout dd dsn=newfile

Answer / lenin
if the file used in cics region, we can browse and read the
file from the record after the fault record by using
startbr,readnext and endbr commands.
if not, we can copy all the records after the fault record
to the new file and we read the new file,
The following code is used to create a new file which will
have the records after the fault record
// pgm=dfsort
/*
sort fields=copy,stopaft=45000,skiprec=55000
*/
//srtin dd dsn=orig-file
//sortout dd dsn=newfile
...
--Then you can read the new file in the cobol program.
Please correct me if i am wrong.

Answer / sj@iy
Code sort fields as
SORTIN DD *
OPTION COPY
SKIPREC(55000)
/*
This will skip all records upto and including 55000th record
OR
SORTIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL STARTREC=550001,ENDREC=100000
/*
This will copy records from 550001 to 100000

Answer / tdagar
We can skip 55000 records using File-Aid as well. Copy the
file into another file and mention 55000 against Skip
records.

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?
