Answer / b.rajesh
Number of occurrences of an element is known as subscript.
For storing of data we use the concept of SUBSCRIPT.
EX:-
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 section
02 marks pic 9(2) occurs 3 times.
77 I pic p(1).
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
move 1 to I.
perform until I > 3
accept marks(I)
add 1 to I
end-perform.
Here we declare the marks(I) : I is called as subscript.
