The DIM keyword defines the number of elements in an array, table, a prototyped parameter, array data structure, or a return value on a prototype or procedure-interface definition.
The numeric constant must have zero (0) decimal positions. It can be a literal, a named constant or a built-in function.
The constant value does not need to be known at the time the keyword is processed, but the value must be known at compile-time.
When DIM is specified on a data structure definition, the data structure must be a qualified data structure, and subfields must be referenced as fully qualified names, i.e. "dsname(x).subf". Other array keywords, such as CTDATA, FROMFILE, TOFILE, and PERRCD are not allowed with an array data structure definition.
