Can you use occurs in bms map?..

Answer / Nishu Sharma

Yes, OCCURS is a CICS BMS (Basic Mapping Support) statement that can be used to define a variable within a BMS map. The OCCURS statement allows you to specify the length of the variable and its data type.nnFor example:nn 01 WORK-AREA. PIC X(80).n 02 WORK-AREA-2 OCCURS 5 TIMES POINTER TO WORK-AREA-PTR.nIn this example, the variable WORK-AREA is defined to be 80 characters long and of type X (hexadecimal). The variable WORK-AREA-2 is defined as an array of five occurrences of WORK-AREA, with each occurrence pointed to by a pointer variable called WORK-AREA-PTR.
