You have a COBOL program that reads data from a binary file and processes it. Which clause, including the REDEFINES clause, would you use to reinterpret binary data as a more human-readable format for reporting purposes?
- REDEFINES clause with 88-level condition names
- REDEFINES clause with OCCURS clause
- REDEFINES clause with a separate data structure
- USAGE DISPLAY clause
To reinterpret binary data for reporting, you would use the REDEFINES clause in conjunction with a separate data structure. This allows you to overlay the binary data with a structure that represents it in a more human-readable format for reporting purposes.
