Answer / jagveer singh
As you all might already know that an array is known
as 'Repeating Groups' because of there nature, it means
that it is a group of data-items, 01 level is used to
define group level variable only (not the groups directly),
so data-items of group needs to be defined under 01 level
(group level) variable only, we can not declare them on 01
level directly.

Answer / m
we have 2 types of redefines
1. Explicit redefines -- we generally use in our cobol
logic using redefine keyword.
2. Implicit redefines -- system redefines its spaces
accordingly .. eg: the variable/record defined with 01
level are usually redefined by the system.
this is th ereason why we wont define occurs clause @ 01
level

Level 01 is used to define record and record cannot be repeated using OCCUR clause.

Answer / som
BECAUSE IF WE DEFINE THE OCCURS CLAUSE AT 01 LEVEL THEN IT
BREAK THE BASIC RULE OF LANGUAGE DECLARTION OF SAME NAME
VARIABLE MORE THEN ONE TIME.E.G
01 NAME PIC XX OCCURS 2 TIMES. MEANS ACTUAL DECLARTION WILL
LIKE THIS
01 NAME PIC XX.
01 NAME PIC XX.
THATS WHY IT IS NOT USED AT 01 LEVEL

Answer / muthu
Level 01 refers to a group item where as occurs clause is
only for elementary items.............i.e other than
01...like 02..03....etc., it should be an independent one.
