This is not some kiddie chat room - we don't use chat-room text/slang. Even beginners can communicate professionally.

how occurs clause works in 01 level

It does not work in 01 level. If code contains an OCCURS in an 01 level, it will not successfully compile.

Suggest you read more in the COBOL Language Reference:
