A table is the COBOL equivalent of arrays. You can have one, two or three dimensional tables.
The situation is the same to that of using tables/arrays in other programming languages.
To know more about COBOL tables check the manuals link. |

| Which situation would you need to use tables or arrays in whatever language(s) you already know? COBOL is no different. |

Hi Aaru,

Enterprise COBOL now allows 7 dimensions and a max table size of 128MB. |
