Hi Sudheer,

I don't think we can pass index as parameter as index is not defined in the working storage of the program so cannot be passed through
linkage.
Please corect me if I am wrong.

Here is the example

05 WS-OCCURS PIC 999 OCCURS 10 TIMES
INDEXED BY WS-IDX.
05 WS-SUB USAGE IS INDEX.

PROCEDURE DIVISION
SET WS-IDX UP BY 1.
MOVE 100 TO WS-OCCURS(WS-IDX)
SET WS-SUB TO WS-IDX

pass WS-SUB in the communication area of calling program.
