Introduction to OCCURS Clause

We use an OCCURS Clause in COBOL to indicate the repeated occurrence of fields with same format (Type & Size). Some of the ses are!

"efinin# a series of $%O fields of same format "efinin# a series of totals in wor&in#'stora#e section "efinin# a ta(le to accessed (y each record.

Subscri t

A SUBSCRIPT is used in the procedure division to indicate which specified item within the array we wish to access. We use subscript a on! with the identifier that is defined with in occurs " to refer to an item with in the array #$amp e% !CC"PT #S-T"MP $1% & !CC"PT #S-T"MP $'(% In between & and '( on y but not ) or '*. Rules % one space after the variab e and eft parenthesis and no space after or before the parenthesis.

There are 0types of search techniCues. S+4.CD & S+4.CD 4LL

Search is used to find on element from the ta(le.

SEARCH: $n Search the records will (e chec&ed in a linear or seCuential fashion until a match is found or until end of the ta(le (+OT). SEARCH ALL: $n Search all it di8ides the ta(le into 0 eCuals half and it chec&s for the element either in first half or second half (ased on element. $t &eeps on di8idin# the ta(le into 0 eCual half until a match is found or until ta(le loo&up is completed.

The I,+"0"+ B1 Clause

When usin# a S+4.CD statement: ta(le entries must (e specified with an inde? rather than a su(script. 4n inde? is similar to a su(script: (ut it is defined alon# with the ta(le entries as part of the OCC .S description!
