%ELEM(table_name)
%ELEM(array_name)
%ELEM(multiple_occurrence_data_structure_name)
%ELEM returns the number of elements in the specified array, table, or multiple-occurrence data structure. The value returned is in unsigned integer format (type U). It may be specified anywhere a numeric constant is allowed in the definition specification or in an expression in the extended factor 2 field.
The parameter must be the name of an array, table, or multiple occurrence data structure.
The parameter cannot be a complex-qualified name.
If you want to find the number of elements for a complex-qualified subfield,
specify the data structure used in the LIKEDS keyword that
defines the data structure subfield that contains the required subfield.
For example, if you want to find the number of elements of INFO.CUST.ORDERS,
and the CUST subfield of data structure INFO was defined
with keyword LIKEDS(CUST_T), then specify %ELEM(CUST_T.ORDERS).
