The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Cross posted to COBOL400 as David is bound to move the discussion there.
Is there a way to dynamically allocate an array in COBOL?
Yup - you can map to malloc or use the ILE heap APIs and map it via the
Linkage Section. Or you could use a User Space for that matter.
But - you will still have to specify an Occurs clause - and the compiler
will still constrain the maximum number of elements. So all you gain is a
potential reduction in storage usage.
