RE: Multi-field dynamic array

 >> Also, you could consider calling an ILE CBL routine - because CBL
supports dynamic array. (And yes, I still like COBOL) - *LOL*

I hate to disillusion you, but no it doesn't.  It just pretends to.  It
always allocates the storage for the maximum size possible.  Since the point
of a dynamic array is to reduce memory utilization this nullifies the
impact.

The only real difference is that any bound checking is done against the
current limit and not against the maximum.  Many COBOL compilers don't even
check the bounds anyway so even that is of limited utility.
