The NAME field attribute clause declares a facility-specific name for
  a   field.    The  specified  language  or  language  processor  then
  recognizes only this name when you refer to the field.

1  –  Parameter

  quoted-string

       The facility-specific field name.

2  –  Syntax Rules

   o  The quoted string must be a legal name for the specified language
      or language processor.  The CDDL does not check the quoted string
      for validity or correct syntax.

   o  You can use 8-bit characters in CDDL quoted strings.

3  –  Usage Notes

   o  You can use this clause only if you have specified a  field  name
      in    the   field   declaration.    You   can   not   specify   a
      facility-specific name for unnamed fields.

   o  Once you have assigned a facility-specific name to a  field,  the
      facility no longer recognizes the field's original name.

   o  Be careful when you use the NAME clause because it enables you to
      assign completely different names to the same field.

   o  Avoid assigning dissimilar names to the  same  field.   The  NAME
      clause  is  designed  only  to allow you to make field names seem
      native to applications languages.

4  –  Example

  The following example provides a VAX COBOL name and a VAX RPG II name
  for  the  ORDER_NUMBER  field.  Because of the NAME clause, VAX COBOL
  recognizes the field only by the name ORDER-NUMBER, and  VAX  RPG  II
  recognizes the field only by the name ORDER#.

  ORDER_NUMBER        DATATYPE IS UNSIGNED NUMERIC
                      SIZE IS 10 DIGITS
                      NAME FOR COBOL IS "ORDER-NUMBER".
                      NAME FOR RPG IS "ORDER#".

  1 OCCURS

  The   OCCURS   field   attribute   clause   declares    fixed-length,
  one-dimensional arrays.

5  –  Parameters

  max_number

      The number of occurrences of the array.

  COB_index

      A VAX COBOL index name.

6  –  Syntax Rules

   o  An  unsigned  integer  (max_number)  declares   the   number   of
      occurrences   in   one-dimensional,  fixed-length  arrays.   This
      integer is the upper bound of the array.

   o  The number of occurrences must be greater than zero.

7  –  Usage Notes

   o  The unsigned integer (max_number) is the array's upper bound; the
      lower bound of an array declared with OCCURS is always 1.  If you
      need to specify an array with a lower bound other than 1, use the
      ARRAY clause.

   o  Only VAX COBOL supports the INDEXED FOR COBOL BY  optional  field
      attribute clause.  Other processors ignore it.

   o  You cannot use the INDEXED FOR COBOL BY optional field  attribute
      clause with Version 3.0 of VAX COBOL or any earlier version.  VAX
      COBOL supports INDEXED FOR COBOL BY in Version 3.1 and later.

   o  If you use a name as a COBOL index name you cannot use that  name
      as  a  field  name or COBOL-specific name elsewhere in the record
      description.

8  –  Example

  In the following example, the OCCURS clause is used twice to  declare
  20  instances  of  SUPPLIER  where each instance is four 30-character
  strings.  Note that OCCURS clauses can be nested.

  SUPPLIER STRUCTURE              OCCURS 20 TIMES.
      SUPPLIER                    OCCURS 4 TIMES
                                  DATATYPE IS TEXT
                                  SIZE IS 30 CHARACTERS.
  END SUPPLIER STRUCTURE.
