Error description
If you have a CopyBook like that includes something like : 10 SOMEFIELD-ARRAY-COUNT PIC S9(4). 10 SOMEFIELD-ARRAY OCCURS 1 TO 50 TIMES DEPENDING ON SOMEFILED-ARRAY-COUNT. RIT will miss the SOMEFIELD-ARRAY fields as part of the message sent.
Local fix
A possible workaround is to change the copybook definition of this line: 10 SOMEFIELD-ARRAY-COUNT PIC S9(4). To become 10 SOMEFIELD-ARRAY-COUNT PIC 9(4).
