how to code the following map using occours clause? all the three fields have different length. ..

Answer / sandeep

code BMS macro with all the fields I mean with all the
occurances. for example

give the first occurence field name as ename1, eno1,addrr1
and second line field as

ename2, eno2,addrr2 and respectively for all the six
occurences. Once you generate a map the symbolic map
consists of all the fields it looks like below (coded for
output field i.e Field+O only)

03 filler picture x(2)
03 ename1a pic x
03 ename1o pic x(10)
03 filler pic x(2)
03 eno1a pic x
03 enoO pic x(10)
03 filler pic x(2)
03 addr1a pic x
03 addrO pic x(10)
03 filler picture x(2)
03 ename2a pic x
03 ename2o pic x(10)
.
.
etc

You need to modify above symbolic map as shown below

02 employee OCCURS 6.
03 enamea pic x
03 enameo pic x(10)
03 filler pic x(2)
03 enoa pic x
03 enoO pic x(10)
03 filler pic x(2)
03 addra pic x
03 addrO pic x(10)

You can also give Occurs clause in BMS macro
Ex:
TELNO DFHMDF POS=(7,1),LENGTH=9,ATTRB=NORM,OCCURS=40
The description of these fields in the symbolic map looks
like this in COBOL:

02 TELNOG OCCURS 40.
03 FILLER PICTURE X(2).
03 TELNOA PICTURE X.
03 TELNOO PIC X(9).
