hi ,

a small doubt regarding tables.......

suppose i have a field say 'name' defined in two tables as follows,

01 table-1 occurs 10 times
indexed by loc-idx.

05 name pic x(4).

02 table-2 occurs 10 times
indexed by loc-idx.

05 name pic x(4).

Now if i want to access 'name' variable in table-2 , how do i do it???

( i am using two includables which were having same names defined as above and both includables are compulsory )

Hi I guess,

name of table-1 and name of table-2 works .

Hi,

KMK is right. This is called qualification of data item . If two variables under different group item have same name then we can use it.

Exanmple..

Move A to B of Group-1.

I think this will help, if wants more then tell me..

Hi,

The same index for two arrays certainly is wrong.This will give an error.
But am not sure abt the "name" field. If at all it is right , the only way it can be accessed by Tab1.name() and Tab2.name().

Please correct me if am wrong

Thanks & Regards

Hi ,

The index name should be uniquely defined. It cannot be qualified.

But Name data field can be qualified as
Name of Table-1 (subscript)
Name of Table-2 (subscript)
