what is the difference between occurs and occurs depending
on? i dont think so there is the difference in
storage..then why we should use occurs depending on?
Answer Posted / sivakumar sekharannair
As ram said the number of occurances stored can be only 5
in either case. it cannot exceed more than that. what i
feel is when the first occurs clause is used regardless of
the number of occurances are loaded in the table the memory
allocation would be 5 bytes but if occurs 1 to 5 times
depending on ws-var, memory allocation will be made based
on the number of occurances loaded.

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
