COBOL Array Sizing
Managing your COBOL array sizing is an important part of owning your 
PeopleSoft Pension Administration software. Setting array bounds too high 
wastefully increases processing loads and makes your system less efficient. But 
when a calculation unexpectedly exceeds the bounds of a COBOL array, the process 
fails, resulting in cryptic error messages and requiring complicated trouble 
shooting.
 
The Array Analysis Utility is designed to investigate parameter setup and 
employee data for the potential to exceed defined array sizes. Potential 
problems are identified with varying severity of warning messages. Technical 
information is provided about the array grouping and usage and a prescription 
for problem avoidance and resolution is provided.
 
While managing arrays is a critical component of owning your software 
implementation, the delivered software product provides no utility to support 
this important task. This tool is built entirely within the PeopleTools suite as 
a “bolt-on” project, facilitating one of the most problematic elements of 
managing your software implementation. Without this tool, developers are blindly 
estimating values and they would be unable to measure efficiency of their array 
sizing.
