*d* The occurrence count exceeds the defined occurrence for thisfile.

Here is the FILE statement and associated ITEMs & TEMPs.  Tests indicate that all is working OK, but the message worries us:

	FILE VI-LINES DETAIL OCCURS 5 TIMES CACHE 255 NOITEMS
	  ACCESS VIA VI-ID USING VI-ID OF VI-HEADER

	  ITEM  VI-ID     INITIAL VI-ID OF VI-HEADER FIXED
	  ITEM A-FLAG INITIAL "N"
	  ITEM APPLY   INITIAL 0 FIXED

	  DEFINE W-O CHAR*1 = "W" IF WO-AMOUNT > 0 ELSE " "

	   TEMP T-OPEN-BALANCE OCCURS WITH VI-LINES

	   TEMP T-OPEN-BALANCE-DISPLAY OCCURS WITH VI-LINES

	   ITEM GL-TRANS-AMOUNT OF VI-LINES &
		SUM NEGATIVE INTO T-OPEN-BALANCE WHEN POSITIVE

	   ITEM WO-AMOUNT OF VI-LINES &
		SUM NEGATIVE INTO T-OPEN-BALANCE WHEN POSITIVE

	   ITEM ORIG-AMOUNT OF VI-LINES &
		SUM INTO VERIFIED-BALANCE OF VI-HEADER
