OCCURS works anywhere in the DATA DIVISION as long as the level number is >= 2 and <= 50. Some compilers even allow it on level numbers 1 and 77.

As a caveat, careful your subscript doesn't ever extend beyond the last element or you'll start referencing procedure division code, with extremely unpredictable results.
