If i initialize the 01 level variable in array, will it
initialize all the array elements (occurs)?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
occurs clause of an array cant be coded in 01 level.
it should always be coded in work area 2
01 xxx-yyy.
03 XX-YYY-ARRAY OCCURS 10 TIMES.
05 XX-YYY-MEM1 COMP-3 PIC S9(9).
05 XX-YYY-MEM2 COMP-3 PIC S9(9)V9.

All ryt.Answer is no.array elements will not be initialised
automatically.
you can initialise the table with INITIALIZE verb.
INITIALIZE XXX-YYY
this will initialize your alphanumeric with space and
numeric with '0'.
apart from this by moving also u can initialise.

Answer / rakesh
I know we cant use occurs in 01 level. My question was, if
we initialize 01 level variable, in ur example, xxx-yyy,
will all the elements be initialized as well (xx-yyy-array,
xx-yyy-mem1 and xx-yyy-mem2)?

Answer / chandrababu naidu
we can't use array or table in 01 level item.
(or)
01 name.
02 name2 pic x(5) occurs 10 times.
INITIALIZE NAME.----> means the variable name contains 'spaces'.

Answer / nag(igate)
hi rakesh and sneha
we can initialize the array at group level.
01 xxx-yyy VALUE "ABCDEFGH"
03 XX-YYY-ARRAY OCCURS 2 TIMES.
05 XX-YYY-MEM1 PIC X(2).
05 XX-YYY-MEM2 PIC X(2).
the initialize value should depend on the number of times
the, occurs clause repeat.

Answer / sharath
Assuming we have to initialize the array variables with
zeroes.
MOVE ALL '0' to the '01' group variable will initialize the
whole array.
