These examples show how you can apply an intrinsic function to some or all of the elements in a table by using the ALL subscript.
Assuming that Table-Two is a 2 x 3 x 2 array, the following statement adds the values in elements Table-Two(1,3,1), Table-Two(1,3,2), Table-Two(2,3,1), and Table-Two(2,3,2):
Compute Table-Sum = FUNCTION SUM (Table-Two(ALL, 3, ALL))
The following example computes various salary values for all the employees whose salaries are encoded in Employee-Table:
01 Employee-Table.
05 Emp-Count Pic s9(4) usage binary.
05 Emp-Record Occurs 1 to 500 times
depending on Emp-Count.
10 Emp-Name Pic x(20).
10 Emp-Idme Pic 9(9).
10 Emp-Salary Pic 9(7)v99.
. . .
Procedure Division.
Compute Max-Salary = Function Max(Emp-Salary(ALL))
Compute I = Function Ord-Max(Emp-Salary(ALL))
Compute Avg-Salary = Function Mean(Emp-Salary(ALL))
Compute Salary-Range = Function Range(Emp-Salary(ALL))
Compute Total-Payroll = Function Sum(Emp-Salary(ALL))
