I'm trying to use the following copybook that contains a two dimensional table to create a message definition:

Code:

01 BERICHT.
02 REC2 OCCURS 3 TIMES.
03 REC2-1 PIC X(80).
03 REC2-2 PIC X(80).
03 REC3 OCCURS 3 TIMES.
04 REC3-1 PIC X(80).
04 REC3-1 PIC X(80).

this gives the following error after the message definition is created:

Code:

Element declaration 'REC3_1' has parent content model <sequence>, which prohibits duplicates with different types.

Anybody an idea what to do with this?

Or can't the Message Broker handle messages with 2 dimensional tables?

The 2-dimensional tables are not the problem. This is:

Code:

04 REC3-1 PIC X(80).
04 REC3-1 PIC X(80).

Note that you have two elements named 'REC3-1' in the same structure. The error message says this is not allowed unless they have the same type. In your copybook, they are both 'PIC X(80)', but the COBOL importer probably created a local type definition for each field, triggering this error.
The simple solution is to rename the second one to 'REC3-2'.

It should be left as a reminder to other victims of the blind spot that:

"we are not alone"

There are more embarishing faults than this my friend. Trust me.
