Hello,

Have you been able to find what you need in the cobol manual?

Had nothing but a very slow dial-up and no mainframe connectoin for the last few days (road hazard<g>).

Here are a couple of small examples of redefines:

Select all

03 CURR-YMD PIC 9(08).
03 FILLER REDEFINES CURR-YMD.
05 CURR-YMD-CCYY PIC 9(04).
05 CURR-YMD-MM PIC 9(02).
05 CURR-YMD-DD PIC 9(02).

03 WS-TIME PIC 9(06).
03 FILLER REDEFINES WS-TIME.
05 WS-TIME-HH PIC 9(02).
05 WS-TIME-MM PIC 9(02).
05 WS-TIME-SS PIC 9(02).
