----------------------

processing copybook C:\Test Data Manager Mainframe DB2 Add On MVS\CopyBooks-33101629\AxTest.CPY

possible lines in error:
       01  Day-REC-TABLE.                                 
           05  Day-REC-TABLE OCCURS 10 TIMES INDEXED BY MS-FLL,  

                                                                                                      MD-DATA

Parser error 

--------------------------

Resolution

Removing the comma in the Copybook should resolve the issue. 

Original data in Copybook:

       01  Day-REC-TABLE.                                 
           05  Day-REC-TABLE OCCURS 10 TIMES INDEXED BY MS-FLL,  

                                                                                                      MD-DATA

Changed as below to resolve the issue:

       01  Day-REC-TABLE.                                 
           05  Day-REC-TABLE OCCURS 10 TIMES INDEXED BY MS-FLL  

                                                                                                      MD-DATA
