bill. ibm cobol pre-85 allocated the max occurs number at compile time. i read this somewhere and i saw the evidence in an assembler listing that we used to have access to. i believe that ibm cobol 85 did the same. i never understood ibm's implementat
ion of this feature. and since it didn't do 'dynamic' allocation i never used it. i did some programming on a univac machine and their cobol pre-85 compiler followed ibm's lead.
