Answer / Vivek Srivastava

You can use the KSDS fileset descriptor to access KSDS files in a COBOL program. Here's an example:nn 01 my-fileset PIC X(8) VALUE 'KSDS'. nn The KSDS fileset descriptor should be defined before the WORKSPACE or DATA DIVISION.

What will happen if a variable is declared as below.. Explain with an example? Working storage section:- 01 WS-VARX PIC X(9) VALUE SPACES. 01 WS-VARN REDEFINES WS-VARX PIC 9(9).
