Hi,
i have one table defined as
WS-DEBITOR-TABLE PIC X(150) OCCURS 1000 TIMES INDEXED BY DEBITOR-IDX
In this case can I use a reference modification to select the perticular string like
WS-DEBITOR-TABLE(DEBITOR-IDX)(20:24)
Please tell me its very urgent
thanks |

It is strange when people say it is urgent and WASTE a lot of their time by expecting answers from others.
Even I had not used such reference modification before but it took me just 2 minutes to test it with simple program.
| Code: |
01 TEXT-VAR PIC X(10).
01 TEMP1.
05 V1 PIC X(10) OCCURS 10 TIMES.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE 'ABHIJIT' TO V1(1).
MOVE 'K' TO V1(2).
MOVE V1(1)(1:7) TO TEXT-VAR
DISPLAY TEXT-VAR.
STOP RUN. |
I got it running so answer to your question should be YES. |

Why would you think you couldn't?
Personally, I keep forgetting what must come first, the RM or the subscript....when I get wrong, the compiler corrects me....  |

| Here's how to remember: the refmod acts on a character string. A table name sans subscript or index is not a character string, and by itself elicits a compiler error, hence the refmod follows the sub/idx. |
