Hi,
i have redefined a variable with other variables,can i know how much bytes will be occupied for that.
The sample piece of code is shown below.
| Code: |
05 (XX)-O-T01-C-CURR-P-X PIC X(03).
05 (XX)-O-T01-C-CURR-B REDEFINES
(XX)-O-T01-C-CURR-P PIC X(03). |

Your question is not clear will you retype the declarations.
Redefine clause is nothing but allotting same memory to both the variables.
If any change is made to any of the variables it will reflect in both the variables. |

Hi Reddy,
Didn't get you? What else do you expect, as asked earlier.
Abhijit asked the right question, if you are REDEFINing something (here it's (XX)-O-T01-C-CURR-B) then we should know that what memory area is being redefined (more specifically 'what was the picture clasue of the original variable').
Further, in your post three variables, posted by OP, appears just opposite in sequence, how come. I think, 'Quote button' in this forum does not reverse the contents of the post  .
P.S.: OP is used for Original Poster. |

The only length that will be "occupied" is the length of the variables defined bafore the redefines. Variables that are part of a redefinition require no additonal bytes - they just re-use the already defined bytes. |

May be some Moderator changed it, not sure though. However, not a matter to worry.
