Answer / shinoy sansilavose

if your variable always represents a value which is needed
for some mathematical calculations then you can define that
var as either a numeric one or as an alphanumeric one.

if your variable is specif for any city name or address you
can declare it as alphabetic or alphanumeric(alphanumeric
is suggested since address contain pin codes/door number)

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?
