FILLER can be used to align numeric variables to word
boundaries for performance improvement.
When you intialize a group variable, filler fields are
unaffected. This can be used to our advantage. for example
in date fields-
Code:
01 date-fl.
05 mm pic xx.
05 filler pic x value '/'.
05 dd pic xx.
05 filler pic x value '/'.
05 yy pic xx.
By declaring this variable we need not move '/' as a
separator even if we use and initialize date-fl in program
many times.

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?
