Changing array setting to EVERY

The initial (default) display for arrays for Formatted Selection Criteria is OCCURS ANY (synonym ARRAY ANY). ANY displays a single entry for the occurrences and any criteria entered for the ANY occurrence will be applied to all occurrences. The record will meet the Selection Criteria if any of the occurrences meet the specified criteria.

EVERY displays a single entry for the occurrences and any criteria entered for the EVERY occurrence will be applied to all occurrences. The record will meet the Selection Criteria if all of the occurrences meet the specified criteria.

More about arrays in formatted selection criteria

  • The OCCURS command (synonym ARRAY) controls whether the array declaration information for COBOL (PL/I) data is displayed.
  • Use the PROFILE command to display the current OCCURS/ARRAY ON or OFF value. Only ON or OFF are saved in the profile.
  • The array line contains the name of the array followed by the word ARRAY and the subscript bounds in standard PL/I format. If any of the subscripts are defined by a REFER clause, additional lines that follow the ARRAY line describe each REFER variable.
  • ANY, EVERY or ALL is applied per set or subset if any. Each subset may have a different array setting.
  • You cannot switch ANY, EVERY or ALL to another if the criteria is specified on any occurrence field in a single set or subset.
  • In ANY or EVERY mode, SHOW OFFSET command shows the offsets of the first occurrence.
