declare nums = table of binary-long (1 2 3) declare names as string occurs 5 *> Can also do: declare names-again as string occurs any set size of names to 5 set names(1) to "David" *> first element indexed as 1 *> ...but can also use zero based subscripting: set names[0] to "David" *> first element indexed as 0 *>set names(6) to "Bobby" *> throws System.IndexOutOfRangeException *> COBOL does not have direct resizing syntax but achieves similar *> results using 'reference modification' syntax: declare names2 as string occurs 7 set names2[0:size of names] to names *> Resizing to a smaller size is even simpler: set names2 to names[0:3] declare twoD as float-short occurs any, any. declare rows as binary-long = 3 declare cols as binary-long = 10 set size of twoD to rows, cols declare jagged = table of (table of binary-long(1 2) table of binary-long(3 4 5) table of binary-long(6 7 8 9)) *> Can also do: declare jagged2 as binary-long occurs any, occurs any set size of jagged2 to 3 set size of jagged2(1) to 5 set jagged2(1 5) to 5 |
