A data item created by the Relativity Designer for each COBOL table. A subscript item, while not an actual part of the record, represents the subscript used to access repeating data items in the record. A column may be based on the subscript item by dragging the subscript item to a relational table in the Table form. Subscript items are given the data-name "SubscriptItem", and they are shown in the FD form immediately following any data item described with the OCCURS clause.
