Rajeev,
I'm not sure if I understand your syntax.
Define and use a cobol table like this:
| Code: |
01 WS-TABLE.
05 WS-TABLE-ENTRY PIC X(10) OCCURS 10 TIMES.
05 WS-TABLE-SUBSCRIPT PIC S9(3) COMP-3.
MOVE 5 TO WS-TABLE-SUBSCRIPT.
DISPLAY WS-TABLE-ENTRY(WS-TABLE-SUBSCRIPT).
(or)
DISPLAY WS-TABLE-ENTRY(5).

To answer other part of your question using INDEX.
Following is an example:
| Code: |
01 TEST-TABLE.
05 TEST-TAB OCCURS 10 TIMES
INDEXED BY INDX-1.
10 TEST-DAT1 PIC X.
10 TEST-DAT2 PIC X.
|
To refrence a particular element in table use SET clause
| Code: |
SET INDX-1 TO +5
DISPLAY TEST-DAT1(INDX-1)
|
If you want to process all elements then use PERFORM VARYING INDX-1 FROM +1 BY +1 just like how you would with sub-script variable. |
