1.5.1.8.1 Subscripting Using Data-Names
When a data-name is used to represent a subscript, it can be used to reference items within different tables. These tables need not have elements of the same size. The same data-name can appear as the only subscript with one item and as one of two or more subscripts with another item. A data-name subscript can be qualified; it cannot be subscripted or indexed. For example, valid subscripted references to TABLE-THREE -- assuming that SUB1, SUB2, and SUB3 are all items subordinate to SUBSCRIPT-ITEM -- include:
ELEMENT-THREE (SUB1 SUB2 SUB3)
ELEMENT-THREE IN TABLE-THREE (SUB1 OF SUBSCRIPT-ITEM,
SUB2 OF SUBSCRIPT-ITEM, SUB3 OF SUBSCRIPT-ITEM)
