What You Can Do

You can reference a field occurrence directly by:

• Defining an explicit number of occurrences in a given work field:

  010 CHARACTERS.3 'A' 'B' 'C'
  

• Referencing a specific work field occurrence by a number or integer name:

  0151*010 CHARACTERS.2   (By a number)
  
  
  010 INDEX                      (By an integer)
  0151*020 CUSTOMER-NAME.INDEX
  

How to Do It

Code a work field parameter with:

1. The name of the repeating field
2. A period (.) immediately followed by a numeric literal that specifies the number of repeating elements
3. Optional initialization of each occurrence of the field
