What is the difference beetween Arrays and Tables in Cobol?
please dont give the answer that arrays in cobol
terminology is called tables......

Answer Posted / jeet

Arrays are basically used to store data which are of
similar type in contiguos memory locations.
Tables on the other hand you can think it as a list which
is used for lookup/referencing, for example when doing a
SEARCH/SEARCH ALL.

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?
