A data item can contain a table whether or not MODE IS BLOCK has been specified. Fixed-length and variable-length tables are treated as group items (MODE IS BLOCK is not specified) that are repeated from the first occurrence to the last occurrence of the table.
Some extended DISPLAY statement considerations also apply to the extended ACCEPT statement. (See Extended ACCEPT and Extended DISPLAY Considerations for more information.)
The ILE COBOL extended DISPLAY statement is similar to the IBM COBOL/2 DISPLAY statement (Format 2). The exceptions are discussed in Appendix I. ACCEPT/DISPLAY and COBOL/2 Considerations.
