This is what I'm trying to do.

PGMA has a array (ARR-TABLE) of 50 occurrence
>From PGMA, I will call PGMB that loads some data into ARR-TABLE. For
this generally, we will call PGMB with ARR-TABLE as parameter.

Here, I don't want to pass ARR-TABLE itself as an array. I would like to
pass the pointer on this ARR-TABLE as a parameter to PGMB (means only
the address of the table). I think, these are possible in ILE COBOL.

For, the above scenario, I want a sample code.

Thanks & Regards

AFAIK, *all* parameters in COBOL are already passed by reference
by default, so it is not quite clear what your problem is...
