Specifies a one-dimensional array of elements with one of the data types shown in the exact-numeric-type diagram. An indicator array provides indicator parameters for fields in the host structure. The indicator array must have at least as many elements in it as the record definition has. You cannot use an indicator array as a record or contain it within a record. In other words, the INDICATOR ARRAY OF clause cannot be used in a second-level record specification (a record- type that you specify within record-type). You cannot explicitly refer to individual elements in an indicator array. For this reason, you cannot use indicator arrays in UPDATE statements or WHERE clauses.
