77 level number is used for declaring elementary data items.
01 level number can be used for both elementary data items and sub-group.
Like...
| Code: |
77 WS-DATE PIC X(10).
01 WS-DATE1.
05 WS-DAY PIC X(2).
05 FILLER PIC X(1) VALUE '-'.
05 WS-MONTH PIC X(2).
05 FILLER PIC X(1) VALUE '-'.
05 WS-YEAR PIC X(4). |
Regards,
Priyesh. |

Yes in terms of memory occupied both would be same. But coding a 01 gives you advantage that you can further sub-group the variable.
In earlier versions of COBOL it was different for 01 & 77 in terms of storage but these are same for VS COBOL II.
