1) can we display the index?..

Answer / jswan

You can't directly display the Index. But you can create a normal numeric field in your working storage and set that to the Index.

Example:

01 WS-TABLE.
05 WS-CUSTOMER PIC X(25) OCCURS 10 INDEXED BY INDEX1.

01 WS-NUMERICS.
05 WS-INDEX-COUNT PIC 9(02) VALUE 0.

SET WS-INDEX-COUNT TO INDEX1.
DISPLAY WS-INDEX-COUNT.
