Answer / khasim
We can regroup using RENAMES.
02 MM PIC X(2).
02 DD PIC X(2).
02 YY PIC X(2).
66 DATE RENAMES DD TRRU YY.
We can devide an Element to multiple elements using
REDEFINES.
02 DATE1 X(6).
02 DATE2 REDEFINES DATE1.
05 MM PIC X(2).
05 DD PIC X(2).
05 YY PIC X(2).
This is main defference.
Remaining things all know.

Answer / swathi.k
Redefines are used to reuse the storage space where as
renames are used to regroup the elementary items.
Ex:For redefines
01 A.
02 PIC X(6) VALUE 'SWATHI'.
02 REDEFINES A PIC X(2).
fOR RENAMES
01 A.
02 B PIC X(5).
02 C PIC X(5).
02 D.
03 D1 PIC X(2).
03 D2 PIC X(5).
02 E PIC X(6).
66 GROUP1 RENAMES C THRU E.
2.Redefines are coded with 0 to 49 level numbers where
as renames are declared with 66 level no.
3.pic clause is required for redefines where as pic clause
is not used for renames.

Answer / chaitanya chandana
redefines can use the any level no(0-49)...
but renames uses the 66 level no...
redefine may not perform subsequent to earlier data-item.
rename perform subsequent to earlier data-item.
Plz correct me if any mistake to my answer..

How can we find out wether to declare the data items like Integer, Char,Comp? If comp types how can we decide wether it is Comp and Comp3.How it is? Please Explain... Cheers.
using redefine can you redefine lower variable size to higher variable size?
what is MSGLEVEL?
how to refer the data field?
how to change picture class of copy book variable inside program?
When we code these comp,comp1,comp-2,comp-3 and comp4 values. I know the differnece.I mean when we will prefer if it is new program.Explain in detail with memory examples. Thanks in advance.
Why occurs cannot be used in 01 level in COBOL?
what happens when a copybook variables are declared using include statement ?
what will be the output when a)pic 9(6)value 000178 is moved to pic ***,***. b)pic 9(5) value 57397 is moved to pic $$,$$9.
)If there are 10 steps in GDG, if I want to refer the step2 after step5 . what should I do?
what is call by value and call by reference ?
