In a large COBOL application, you have multiple programs that need to share a common data structure. How can subprograms help in managing this data sharing efficiently?
- COPY statement
- Global Data Section
- Parameter Passing
- Redefine Clause
Subprograms can efficiently manage data sharing by using Parameter Passing. By passing parameters, data can be exchanged between the main program and subprograms, ensuring modularity and reducing dependencies on global data.
