Not even close. OCCURS UNBOUNDED only allows you to state that a table received via the LINKAGE section has a size based on a particular variable. But there is no direct way that I know of to CREATE an unbounded table in COBOL.
Or, I think, you could use dynamic memory allocation (getmain et al) to allocate the entire table at once, and then point to it using a LINKAGE SECTION "unbounded" table. At least that is my understanding.
