Hi guys,
This question was put to me in an interview. I replied the same. But the interviewer then explained that when we use DEPENDING ON, the memory is actually allocated for the maximum length.
In that sense, there is no dynamic memory allocation in cobol and hence no dynamic arrays in Cobol.
Hope that clarifies!!

Whatever the interviwer told to you was true only. But, not every time you load the full length of the dynamic array. Whenever the depending variable gives you some value then depending on that value only array will be loaded. Ok. |
