Which of the following statements are incorrect.

Explanation

The question asks which statement is INCORRECT. Subscripting allows referring to table elements by index, reduces data division entries, and enables compact code. However, subscripting itself is a table access mechanism - it doesn't inherently enable loops (PERFORM with VARYING enables loops). So claiming subscripting enables loops is incorrect.
