See also vector, scalar.<br />(5) In EGL, a structure item that has an occurs value greater than one. If an array has a subordinate structure item that also has an occurs value greater than one, the subordinate structure item declares an array with an additional dimension.<br />(6) A number of items stored together, which a user can quickly retrieve by supplying the correct index.<br />(7) An ordered collection, or group, of physical devices (disk drive modules) that are used to define logical volumes (LVOLs) or devices.
