Answer / amit barwa
REDEFINES Clause
Facilitates two or more data-names to point to the same
memory location
e.g.
01 WS-NUM1 PIC X(1)
01 WS-NUM2 REDEFINES WS-NUM1 PIC X(2).
If you MOVE '10' to WS-NUM2,
DISPLAY WS-NUM1 will show 1 while
DISPLAY WS-NUM2 will show 10.

Answer / avinanda mukherjee
If the example is-
01 WS-NUM1 PIC 9(1)
01 WS-NUM2 REDEFINES WS-NUM1 PIC X(2).
If you MOVE '10' to WS-NUM2,
DISPLAY WS-NUM1 will show 0 (Numeric) while
DISPLAY WS-NUM2 will show 10 (charecter).

Answer / mallappa
Redfeines Clause allows you to use a same memory area.
Ex:
01 var.
02 ws-date pic x(10).
02 ws-date1 Redefines ws-date
03 ws-day pic x(2).
03 ws-month pic x(2).
03 ws-month pic x(8).
