YS WE CANT ACCESS FLAT FILE RANDOMLY
IF WE WANT TO ACCESS PARTICULAR RECORD

MOVE KEYFIELD VALUE TO W-S VARIABLE
PERFORN UNTIL W-FLAG = 'Y'
READ FILE1 AT END MOVE 'Y' TO W-FLAG
NOT AT END
IF KEY-FILE1 = WS-KEY-VARIABLE
MOVE--------
ELSE
MOVE 'Y' TO W-FLAG.

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?
