I got an compilation error saying that,
FD FILE1-DATA
RECORDING MODE F
BLOCK CONTAINS 0 RECORDS.
01 S1-FILE1-DATA PIC X(400).
01 WS-USING-FILE1 REDEFINES S1-FILE1-DATA.
.lots of 05 variables
.
.
.
A "REDEFINES" clause was found in the definition of a level-01 item in the "FILE SECTION" discarded.
But it is possble in Working storage section. Why its not accept in FD Section? |

as per my knowledge, REDEFINES is not allowed at 01 level in the FILE-SECTION.
we can use it at some other levels provided the length should be less or equal to the original variable. |

Hello,
Multiple level 01s in an FD are redefined. You may not code REDEFINES. Look at your compile output and you will see that all of the 01s for an FD start at the same address. |

open you eyes and look at the compile output.
helps if you have map or object as a compile parm.
if you don't know what that is, look at any cobol manual under how to compile and parms.
while you are in this manual (first time?) take a gander at the sections describing how a coder/programmer build the file section. |

Scroll to the right of the 01 - displacements/addresses are usually shown there. |
