  1. Grouping up to 1000 100 individual identical fields into contiguous storage, thus allowing "indexed" references to be made to any one of the fields. To do this, use the OF_FIELDS parameter. This is the only option supported for RDMLX fields. Note that if an object is not enabled for RDMLX it is limited to 100 fields.
  2. Overlaying a large field with an array structure, thus allowing "indexed" references to individual areas within the larger field. To do this, use the OVERLAYING parameter. This option is not supported when using an RDMLX field.
