Answer / mallikarjun
WE CANNOT GIVE VALUE CLAUSE IN THE SECOND STATEMENT I.E.
WS-VARN REDEFINES WS-VARX PIC 9(5) VALUE '12345' . IF YOU
SPECIFY VALUE CLAUSE SYSTEM WILL SHOW AN ERROR, IF YOU
SPECIFY WITH OUT VALUE CLAUSE I.E.
WS-VARN REDEFINES WS-VARX PIC 9(5).
THEN IF YOU GIVE DISPLAY STATEMENT THEN ABCDEFGHIJ AND
ABCDE WILL BE DISPLAYED

for this qtion is correct what was explained my

Can we move X(9) to 9(9). If yes what are the ways for doing this?
Consider the below example call a-test1. -- -- -- a-test1. if a=b perform a-test through a-exit next sentence else if b=c perform c-test through c-exit. if a=d perform d-test through d-exit. a-test. -- -- a-exit. exit. can u tell me what will happen if a=b after looping into a-exit will the control go back to a- test1. will the condition a=d be checked???
