Well as of V5R2 you can effectively use multi-dim arrays.

The following appears to match the way you describe the data.  I'm not
convinced it provides a solution but ...

     d months          ds                  Dim(24) qualified
     d  monthData                          
     d   water                        7p 2 overlay(monthData)
     d   trash                        7p 2 overlay(monthData: *next)
     d   sewer                        7p 2 overlay(monthData: *next)
     d   elements                     7p 2 overlay(monthData) dim(3)

      /free
         months(1).elements(1) = 0;


P.S. Thanks for starting my day off by making me feel really old!  I first
programmed for this particular problem about 30 years ago - sob, sob, sob
