Answer / samay simant

Use the Occurs Depending on clause.

01 College-table
05 Student-table occurs 10 to 20 times depending on
NUM_Stud.

Here the size of array is dependent on Number of students.
Thus this is dynamically created.

Answer / billyboyo

In IBM's Language Environment you can dynamically
acquire storage (look up HEAP in the manual). The storage
you acquire you can use as you like. Can be an array,
therefore a dynamic array. It is a "work-around" as dynamic
arrays are not directly supported.

hi pandu
occurs clause is used to define the tables so in
01 we mention the group so it does not any pic clause
even sub groups are also not having a pic clause
only elementary items contain pic clause

Answer / pandu

hi Samay,your answer is correct but i had doubt why don't
we write it as
01 College-table
05 Student-table occurs 10 to 20 times depending on
NUM_Stud.
because 01-49 all are group items naa.
and why don't we mention pic clause in above 01 and 05

pls tell me naa.
