Veena, as far as I knw, An OCCURS clause is used to
indicate the repeated occurrences of items of the same
format in a structure. It is nothing to do with the number
of records in the file. As per your question the filed
which you declare in the table occurs 2000 times. And this
is not the number of record. So your program will read all
the records in the input file. You can display any
occurance of the field like FIELD-NAME(1998) will result in
the value stored in that position, i mean to say 1998th
occurance. When you try to read beyond 2000,the program
will abend with SOC4. I hope I have cleared your doubt!
