How to define a array dynamically.......

Answer / samay simant

Use the Occurs Depending on clause.

01 College-table
05 Student-table occurs 10 to 20 times depending on
NUM_Stud.

Here the size of array is dependent on Number of students.
Thus this is dynamically created.

How to define a array dynamically.......

Answer / billyboyo

In IBM's Language Environment you can dynamically
acquire storage (look up HEAP in the manual). The storage
you acquire you can use as you like. Can be an array,
therefore a dynamic array. It is a "work-around" as dynamic
arrays are not directly supported.
