Linkage section is a part of data division.
This can be coded in 2 situations
1) When we want to pass data from Jcl to COBOL program using parm parameter.
2) when mainprogram communicates with sub program then we code linkage section in sub program

I have a program with an Array of 5000 occurences which is being passed from 5 sub levels to the front end screen. Thess 5 programs using each 5*2 = 10 different arrays with size as 5000. This is causing the transaction to utilize more storage consupmtion. I am looking to reduce the storage consumption. As part of that initially i thought Dynamic array may solve my problem. After viewing the comments given i see its same as normal array. IS there any other way we can resolve this issue?
