Problem running tests for binary-search in cobol

Programming COBOL

Hi,

Running the test script for cobol exercise binary-search results in an error.

exercise code:

01 WS-ARRAY-TABLE. 
         02 WS-ARRAY               OCCURS 1 TO 20 DEPENDING ON WS-COUNT.
            05 ROWELEM             PIC 9(4).

test code:

MOVE "1,3,4,6,8,9,11" TO WS-ARRAY.

The error: ‘WS-ARRAY’ requires one subscript

I doubt it is possible to fill a table with number elements with a “csv-string”. Can I apply a workaround here, or do the tests need to be adjusted first?

This would be a great opportunity for me to contribute as a contributor for the first time, but honestly, I’m not sure how to go about it.

Update
This is a workaround in the exercise code.

       01 WS-ARRAY                 pic x(80).
       01 h-array.
          03 rowelem               pic 9(4) occurs 20.

ws-array becomes a string var and a h-array is addes.
The program can unstring ws-array into the rowelem’s.
