what is the difference between Normal vaiable and comp
variable.
Answer Posted / garry
I am not sure about previous explanation, however before that all explanations are valid.
One thing should be clear in our mind that COMP usage is good but it can not be displayed simply, it will store in binary format, so we need to convert it in to ZD, if displaying in SYSOUT or writing to a file.
Please let me know if I am wrong.
Thanks
Garry

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?
