According to the link below, the max # of ODOs is 7. The max OCCURS levels is 16,777,215. Then it says: max OCCURS integer is 4,194,303.

Have fun.

"OCCURS" nesting exceeded 7 levels. Only the first 7 levels. Only the first 7 levels were accepted.

when i tried for nesting occurs more than 7 levels above error is displayed.
