"Dynamically" could mean many things and that would need little more explanation from your part.

Keep in mind, COBOL is a complied language - and you need to tell it everything before compilation. I'm not sure but it looks like you'd to look at the explanation of DEPENDING ON clause in COBOL reference manuals, probably that will help in your quench, as of now.

i think it is not possible directly,but you can pass the index number for array through SYSIN or Proc.

I'm not sure how would this work for the "definition of dynamic arrays"?
