Few things you need to know about COBOL-arrays. Arrays have multiple benefits. While reading an i/p file, in batch process, the only way you can store data internally is in arrays. So, the data can be used for processing within the program.
COBOL Arrays
Important points are:
Point1:
01 Array-example
02 Table-1 occurs n times
03 Field-1 pic x(2)
03 Field-2 pic x(3)
Here the ‘n’ times is any value from ‘1’ to ‘32767’
Point 2:
We know arrays are fixed length, variable length. While working with DB2, the array must handle BLOB and CLOB (Binary large object and Char Large object)
You can see the syntax from IBM site here.

PySpark + Delta Lake / Apache Iceberg: Building Modern Lakehouse Data Pipelines
Introduction Traditional data warehouses were designed for structured data and fixed schemas. Modern businesses generate massive amounts of data from applications, IoT devices, APIs, logs, and transactions. To handle this scale, organizations are adopting the Lakehouse Architecture, which combines the flexibility of data lakes with the reliability of data warehouses. Two major technologies powering modern…
