Converting from 7.10 F2 to 8.20 D

I'm recently in the process of converting all quick, qtp and quiz programs
from 7.10 F2 to 8.20 D. The system we have is the Alpha (Open VMS).
I am currently experiencing a problem with re-compiling a Quick program. The
statement it is bombing on is:

FILE PRD_FILE_AUD AUDIT OCCURS WITH PRD_FILE

Bear in mind that file PRD_FILE also contains an item that is a table entry
(the item occurs 3 times). PRD_FILE_AUD contains the same items as PRD_FILE
with the inclusion of the audit items. The main file is defined as:

PRD_FILE DETAIL NOITEMS OCCURS 18 TIMES NODELETE

The error I'm receiving is this:
*E* Can't initialize the repeating item of the multiple occurring file
(PRD_FILE)

There are other Quick programs in our system, that use the same files, that
have successfully re-compiled to 8.20d. The difference with this particular
program is that the main file is defined as DETAIL with an OCCURS. (all the
other ones were defined as PRIMARY or SECONDARY but no occurs).

Can someone help, please!?

Thanks,
