Hi,

in my prog i used one copybook that having varible p1 pic x(2000).

If i want to reduse length of x from (2000) to (1500) it in my prog according to i need or say (1200)

Means dynamically can we change it?

in prog procedure division.

This does not make much sense,can you explain a little better?
Have you looked into VB and ODO?
