RE: Multi Occurance Data Structures

[<Rick.Chevalier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

>From the RPG/400 manual:
Input specification -> Data Structure definition
Positions 44-47 (Data Structure Occurrences)
Entry   Explanation
Blank   This is not a multiple-occurrence data structure.
1-9999 The number (right-adjusted) indicating the number of occurrences of a 
multiple-occurrence data structure.
These positions must be blank if the data structure is the program status data 
structure (indicated by an S in position 18), a file information data structure 
(INFDS), or a data area data structure.

HTH,

Rick
