using redefine can you redefine lower variable size to higher variable size?..

Answer / santosh mahajan

Yes. Redefines just causes both fields to start at the same
location. For example:-

01 WS-XYZ PIC X(1).

01 WS-XYZ-R REDEFINES WS-XYZ PIC(2).

MOVE 11 TO WS-XYZ-R
DISPLAY WS-XYZ will show 1
DISPLAY WS-XYZ-R will show 11
