In a complex COBOL application, you encounter a situation where two different parts of the program need to access the same data item but interpret it differently. How can you achieve this using the REDEFINES clause?

Create multiple 01-level records with different REDEFINES clauses
Declare the data item with OCCURS DEPENDING ON clause
Use 88-level condition names for each interpretation
Utilize a nested data structure with REDEFINES clause

To have two different interpretations of the same data item in different parts of a program, you can use the REDEFINES clause within a nested data structure. This allows you to define multiple views of the same data item without conflicting interpretations.
