~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Require the ability to convert an OCCURS table to individual fields in a Service so that each occurrence of a field can be individually included, named, and referenced from the using API.

For example,
we may have a small table of fields that each represent something slightly different where perhaps only a subset of occurrences are required.

05 CUSTOMERS PIC 9(9) OCCURS 5.

translates to:

primaryCustomer Occurrence 1 - Include
secondaryCustomer Occurrence 2 - Include
CUSTOMERS Occurrence 3 - Not Include
CUSTOMERS Occurrence 4 - Not Include
CUSTOMERS Occurrence 5 - Not Include

    Thank you for this RFE.

    This is a strategic requirement that is part of our long term roadmap.

    To deliver this requirement we will need to shift to a functional mapping model which will take some careful design consideration and may take some time to deliver. We are currently seeking participation in our design program to help us develop our initial designs. If you are interested in joining us on this journey to shape the delivery of capability, please sign up to the Z Client Feedback program via the link below, indicating your interest in z/OS Connect EE:
