5.3.10.1 Fixed-Length Tables



Fixed-length tables are specified using the OCCURS clause. Because seven subscripts or indexes are allowed, six nested levels and one outermost level of the Format 1 OCCURS clause are allowed. The Format 1 OCCURS clause can be specified as subordinate to the OCCURS DEPENDING ON clause. In this way, a table of up to seven dimensions can be specified.
