max occurs 'unbounded'

User states 'The workaround works but not when maxOccurs is ?unbounded?.

03 testOperationResponse.
06 serviceSettings.
09 releaseSchedule.
12 releaseTimes2-num PIC S9(9) COMP-5
SYNC.
12 releaseTimes OCCURS 100.
15 Xtime PIC X(5).
15 amPM PIC X(255).

It would be nice if it generates OCCURS? DEPENDING ON clause to look like one below. Perhaps good thing to include in the fix pack.

12 releaseTimes OCCURS x TO 100 DEPENDING ON releaseTimes2-num. ? where x is the value that was set for minOccurs

User was requested to request an RFE, user originally had PMR 81050,379,00 opened to address a related issue that was resolved in ver 9.1.1 and this RFE takes this one step further.

    This requirement has been evaluated. Looking at current plans, it is not likely that this would be implemented in the next two CICS TS releases, so correspondingly this requirement is being rejected. You have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be considered then.
