hi abhijeet,
Significance of level numbers 66,77,88.
I think this is the basic thing right!!
66---used for renames clause
77--- for defining individual items
88---for condition variables.
Still I am in doubt whether i answered you or not.
Thanks,
Anu |

Thanks for your valuable reply Anuradha.
Actually I started learning cobol a week ago.
I got the significance of 77 & 88 levels but i m still confused about level 66
I gone thru many source codes available at my place but it was very rarely used.
Can you tell me what is exactly renaming the clause.
Thanks once again |

Hi Abhi as per ur question regarding 66 it is used for Renameing the existing groups , ie rearraging the existing groups with new name but without alloting extra memory , i hope u can understand, u can think it as one of memory management future of Cobol.
With love
