Answer / mchava
A subscript is a working storage data definition item,
typically a PIC (999) where a value must be moved to the
subscript and then incremented or decremented by ADD TO and
SUBTRACT FROM statements.
An index is a register item that exists outside the
program's working storage. You SET an index to a value and
SET it UP BY value and DOWN BY value.
