SDFII REPEAT structure, with a list of fields repeated n times vertically on the screen to be recognised correctly by RDz

This customer develops 3270 maps with SDFII. The customer generates BMS that are imported into RDz. When the BMS comes from a REPEAT structure where many fields that are repeated vertically on, RDz interprets wrongly. We should have RDz interpreting the data as a structure, with the column names the same as in SDF II.

    We have a fixtest that allow us to use a multidimensional array. However, we are not be able to use the Array Editor to edit this type of array because making changes to this GUI interface cannot be done in a testfix. We need a refresh with the complete solution.
