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)
