I haven't checked this for a while, but a year or so back, MODS was implemented 
as a contiguous area with occurrence 2 immediately after occurrence 1 in 
storage. If that's still the case, you can just receive the entire MODS as an 
entry parameter in RPG3, or you could RTVDTAARA in RPG4 and use a basing 
pointer to locate the MODS at byte 1 of the data. You could also forgo the MODS 
and just reposition the basing pointer, which really accomplishes the same 
thing as OCCUR.
