Hi ,

Regarding INDEX variable used in occurs clause

05 Var1 occurs 5 times indexed by N
06 var2 pic x(2) ----------> First

05 Var3 occurs 5 times
06 Var4 pic x(2) ----------->Second

Can the INDEX variable declared In First can be used in the Second Declaration
can it be used if picture clause is Different ????

Can some one help me out regarding this

Hi,
An index name (N,in your code) need not be declared separately.Also PICTURE clause is not specified when an index data item is declared ie when the USAGE is index.

Hi Sridevi,

U Didnot get my Question.
I am not asking regarding the declaration of Index

I am asking that the index in first which is pointing to the first can be used for the second occurs clause

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
Even now your question is NOT that clear.But still...assuming you spoke about index names.Yep,index name of one table can be used in another table.

Another table's index name can be used in search's VARYING option.So ,I guess,you can use index name from one search to another.
Sorry,I wish/prefer to communicate only through this website.

hi satish

in your case you can do it

only that the index variable can be used for another table means

if both table description have same number of element,and the element tables have same length.

thank's
