Hi,
I want to pass value from a PARM to COBOL pgm. Could I use the parm value in Array?
02 X-TAB-05 OCCURS 1 TO PARM1-REC TIMES
DEPENDING ON X-05
INDEXED BY X-IND-05. |

Have you searched the forum / manuals for reading values from PARM.
Once you have read the value you can use it however you want. |

you can even redefine the parm value as a COBOL Internal table in linkage section.
but, maybe that is too much information. |

Did you check the manual (link at the top of the page)? The COBOL Language Reference clearly states that OCCURS integer-1 TO integer-2 TIMES is the syntax. I'm sure if you search enough you will discover that COBOL means integer numbers only when it says integer-2 -- NOT VARIABLES. Per the manual, I believe the answer to your question is no, you cannot use PARM1-REC in the OCCURS clause. |
