Answer Posted / mallikarjun
WE CANNOT GIVE VALUE CLAUSE IN THE SECOND STATEMENT I.E.
WS-VARN REDEFINES WS-VARX PIC 9(5) VALUE '12345' . IF YOU
SPECIFY VALUE CLAUSE SYSTEM WILL SHOW AN ERROR, IF YOU
SPECIFY WITH OUT VALUE CLAUSE I.E.
WS-VARN REDEFINES WS-VARX PIC 9(5).
THEN IF YOU GIVE DISPLAY STATEMENT THEN ABCDEFGHIJ AND
ABCDE WILL BE DISPLAYED
