Fixed length means the length of all records in the file is
same.so we code record length is x chrs
where as in variable length means the length of records are
varying from each other. so we code as record length is x
to y chars

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.

After viewing the comments given i see its same as normal array. IS there any other way we can resolve this issue?
