How to specify the parent data item
The parent data item of a host variable can be referenced using a separator dot or the OF keyword. The IN keyword cannot be used as the compiler may confuse it with a stored procedure parameter type.
Given the following group items:
01 group-1. 03 item-1 pic x(30). 01 group-2. 03 item-1 pic 9(9). |
In order to avoid ambiguos identifiers, you can reference item-1 of group-1 in these ways
• :group1.item-1
• :item-1 of group1
