COMP1 and COMP2 are the Single precision (Full word - 4
bytes) and Double precision (Double word - 8 bytes)
respectively.
They don't contain the Picture Clause.
COMP-3 will contain 8 Bytes.

Answer / shiva
COMP1-IT OCCUPIES 4 BYTES TO STORE UP TO 18 CHARACTERS
COMP2-IT OCCUPIES 8 BYTE TO STORE UP TO 18 CHARACTERS
COMP3-IT OCCUPIES HALF BYTE FOR EACH CHARACTER AND HALF BYTE
FOR SIGN...FOR ODD DATA LENGTH SO IT OCCUPIES
(15/2=7.5)+(1/2)=7.5+0.5=8 BYTES.

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?
