     This affects data items that appear after a variable-length table
     in the same record; that is, after an item with an OCCURS
     DEPENDING clause, but not subordinate to it.
 
     With ODOSLIDE, these items always immediately follow the table,
     whatever its current size; this means their addresses change as its
     size changes. With NOODOSLIDE, these items have fixed addresses,
     and begin after the end of the space allocated for the table at
     its maximum length.
