Hello,
Loop thru the array moving the initial value into each array element. . . |

Hi,
| Code: |
01 WS-MAIN-ARRAY.
03 WS-1.
05 WS-2 PIC X(06) OCCURS 500.
03 WS-3 OCCURS 6.
05 WS-S4 PIC X(02).
05 WS-S5 PIC S9(7) COMP-3.
INITIALIZE WS-MAIN-ARRAY |
Here the Variables with different data type will be initialized to their corresponding default values.
Hope i'm correct. |

Sriram,
you are correct.
you could also say,
INITIALIZE WS-MAIN-ARRAY REPLACING NUMERIC DATA BY 9999999
REPLACING ALPHANUMERIC DATA BY 'AB'
But, you do not have a two demensional table.
you have 2, 1 demensional tables. |

HI,
Yes your correct. Hope below example deals with the 2D array
| Code: |
01 WS-MAIN-ARRAY.
03 WS-1.
05 WS-2 PIC X(06) OCCURS 500.
03 WS-3 OCCURS 6.
05 WS-S4 PIC X(02).
05 WS-S5 PIC S9(7) COMP-3.
05 WS-S6 PIC S9(5)V99 COMP-3
OCCURS 20.
05 WS-S7 OCCURS 40.

yes, as long as you realize the valid two demensional array is:
WS-3, WS-S6
the element would be referenced:
ws-s6(1,2,)
your example will not compile, as ws-s7 does not have a pic/usage clause.
and I suggest that you learn to use the preview button, then the 'poor' indentation would be obvious. |

Other alternatives are to initialise the uppermost group variable with spaces, low values, or high values with just a single move statement.
Or define a copy of your array storage containg the initialised values, and everytime you need to initialise your work array, just move the copy to the work array. This method is particularily useful if you have to move very specific initialisation values into your array. |

Yes your correct, i didnt remove it in the display, thats why it went in a wrong way.

I will take care of indentation in future. |

Before verifying the indentation, you should use the "Code" tag - maybe you used it ablve or maybe some moderator "Code"d this. Once you have "Code"d something, then Preview.
If you copy/paste from your terminal screen, you need not do any spacing as the Code tags wil preserve the spaceing/alignment. |
