I am using OCCURS=2 in DFHMDF macro of bms map for a field called NAME but data populated for field NAME(1) and NAME(2) on the map is horizontally. Example if name(1) = ABHAY and name(2)=PATU then on the map it is being displayed as
ABHAY PATU
I want the data to be like
ABHAY
PATU
Can anyone let me knoe is there something extra needs to be provided in DFHMDF macro for the field NAME. |

| Check the CICS Applications Programming manual -- link at the top of the page -- OCCURS always goes horizontal. You cannot generate via DFHMDF a vertical field the way you want. You can define a set of lines with the fields and redefine the map fields as an array in your program, which I've done a number of times before. |

| You have a problem reading your own code and creating a redefine on the map based on what the code says? If you really need this, I am willing to provide the code for my usual daily rate -- but I'm not cheap. |

For 2 rows, occurs is not worth the trouble.
Just define each field
ABHAY
PATU
on 2 different lines. |

Robert,
Times are tough, even experienced consultants are scrambling over the breadcrumbs. |

But defining fields in case of 15 or 20 fields will cause problem. |

Why will this cause problems? |

Not defining them will cause even more of a problem. |

ABhay,
your original post
I am using OCCURS=2 in DFHMDF
says indicates 2 occurances, which is it , 2 fields or 15/20 ?
The biggest benefit of using occurs is less code, both in DFHMDF macros
and related CICS application(s) that use the map.
It is not a requiment to use occurs for BMS map.
You can code as many individual fields as you want (that will fit on a 3270 screen) without a problem.
