A data-name must neither be subscripted nor indexed when it is being used as an index, or subscript.
Indexing is not permitted where subscripting is not permitted.
An index can be modified only by the SET, SEARCH, and PERFORM statements. Data items described by the USAGE IS INDEX clause permit storage of the values associated with index-names as data. Such data items are called index data items.
Literals used as subscripts must be positive numeric integers. Literals used for relative subscripting and indexing must be unsigned numeric integers.
