Say I have an array
A(250).
I have to initialize all the ocuurances of the array with different value.
A(1) = 1 Like that.
is there any easy way in cobol to initialize all the ocurances of an array with different value instead of mentioning each value in value clause.. |

Hello,
If the suggestion posted is not what you want, please post a larger sample of how you want the array initialized. Also, please post the array definition - A(250) is not an array - it is just a field.
Do you have one 250-byte field that is an array of 1-byte fields or do you have an array that is made up of some number of 250-byte fields.
When you post a better definition, we will be able to offer better suggestions. |

Hello,
Is this an interview question?
Do not post the same question in multiple forums. |
