Objectives
Applied
y Given specifications for a program that uses a one-level or a multilevel table, develop the program using either subscripts or indexes. This may require loading a table, searching a table, or processing the entries in a table.
Knowledge
y Explain why using indexes is more efficient than using subscripts. y List three ways that you can refer to a table entry using subscripts and three ways that you can refer to a table entry using indexes. y Describe the difference between a sequential and a binary search. y In general terms, describe the difference between working with a fixed-length table and a variable-length table. y Explain how you can use the entries in a table with intrinsic functions.

How to efine a one-le el ta le t at uses su scri ts

y A one-level table contains data that depends on a single variable actor. y The ccurs clause indicates ho many times a ield or a group o ields is repeated in storage and can be coded rom level 02 through 49. Each occurrence holds one table entry. y A table can contain constant values, hich can be coded or copied directly into the program, or variable values, hich can be loaded rom a ile.

y You can refer to table entries using subscripts, occurrence numbers, or relative subscripting. y A subscript is a field that contains an occurrence number, which indicates the occurrence of the field you want to refer to. y A subscript must be defined as an integer, and it should be defined with binary usage for efficiency. y You can use relative subscripts to increase or decrease a subscript value by a literal value when you refer to a table entry. y You can use these techniques to refer to a group field or an individual field. y You can use the same subscript to refer to entries in two or more tables, and you can use two or more subscripts to refer to the entries in a single table.

Basic skills for working with indexes

y An index represents a displacement value from the start of the table. y Indexes are more efficient to use than subscripts, which have to be converted to displacement values. y You define a table that uses an index the same way you define a table that uses a subscript except that you include the Indexed By clause. y The Indexed By clause names one or more indexes that will be used to refer to the table entries. The indexes you name are defined automatically. y You can code constant values for a table that uses indexes just as you do for a table that uses subscripts.
Basic skills for working with indexes (continued)

y You can initialize a table that uses indexes by including a alue clause in the table definition or by using the Initialize statement in the Procedure Division. y You can refer to table entries using indexes, occurrence numbers, or relative indexes. You can use these techniques to refer to a group field or an individual field.

How to perform a inary searc

y With a binary search, an entry near the middle o the table is compared ith the desired entry. ased on this comparison, the search continues in the irst or second hal o the table. This continues until the entry is ound or the entire table is searched. y To per orm a binary search, you use the earch All statement. The When clause o this statement speci ies the condition that satis ies and ends the search. y I none o the entries in the table satis y the search condition, the At End clause is executed. y To use a binary search, the table entries must be in sequence by the ield that ill be used or the search, called the key field. y The key ield is identi ied by the Key clause or the table entry. This ield should be unique and can be in either ascending or descending sequence.

This field must be defined as an integer in working storage. y Before you can refer to an entry in a variable-length table, the Depending On field must be set to a value that falls within the range specified by the Occurs clause.
