Indexing is a special subscripting procedure. In indexing, you use the INDEXED BY phrase of the OCCURS clause to assign an index-name to each table level. You then refer to a table element using the index-name as a subscript. Format - { data-name } ( { , index-name [ { + } literal-2 ] } ) { condition-name } ( { [ { - } ] } ... ) ( { , literal-1 } )
