One more advantage of redefines is that we can use the same
value with different declarations.
For Example
lets say we receive input value as 'b123'. b is blank
and we want to display it as 01.23 in the spool. This can
be done with redefines as follows.

WORKING-STORAGE section
01 LEARNING
05 WS-RECIEVE-VAL PIC X(4).
05 WS-RECIEVE-RED REDEFINES WS-RECIEVE-VAL PIC 9(2)V
(2).

01 WS-FOR-DISPLAY PIC 9(2).9(2).

PROCEDURE DIVISION.

MOVE 'b123' TO WS-RECIEVE-VAL
MOVE WS-RECIEVE-RED TO WS-FOR-DISPLAY

DISPLAY WS-FOR-DISPLAY

STOP RUN.
