Answer / selvam a
REDEFINE clause allows the said area to be referred by more
than one data name with different sizes and pictures.
Usage:
level-number data-name1 REDEFINES data-name2
Answer to the question 2:
The REDEFINES clause must immediately follow data-name1
Other Rules:
1. The level number of data-name1 and 2 must be identical.
2. date-name1 and 2 must be of same size.
3. Multiple redefinitions are allowed.
