OCCURS Clause

The COBOL OCCURS clause defines a repeating data item. Its number of occurrences is determined by a numeric item. The OCCURS clause can have fixed number of occurrences or it can be variable if a DEPENDING ON clause is present.

The connector represents items with an OCCURS clause as a JSON array. All items need not be supplied through mapping. Items that are not supplied are rendered using VALUE clause or initialized according to the settings of Render activity. If an input array is larger than the permissible limit in the OCCURS clause, an error is raised.
