Tag for Company or institution name

I'd like to write the occupation's company name.

I found in GEDCOM standard release 5.5 the tag:
CORP {CORPORATE}: A name of an institution, agency, corporation, or company.
I suppose to use like this:

0 @I1@ INDI
1 NAME John /Smith/
1 OCCU manager
2 CORP Calico Pie

but FH seems not to recognize it  [frown]

So how to store the company name with FH?

ID:5470

The CORP tag is only valid in a HEADer record.

For an OCCUpation why not use the ADDRess to define the company name & address of the workplace?

Alternatively, there is the AGNC Responsible Agency field, that GEDCOM 5.5 defines as:
'The organization, institution, corporation, person, or other entity that has authority or control interests in the associated context. For example, an employer of a person of an associated occupation, or a church that administered rites or events, or an organization responsible for creating and/or archiving records.'

This can be added on the All tab of the Property Box by right-clicking on any Fact and choosing Add Responsible Agency.

Dear tatewise,
I think AGNC perfectly fits what I'm looking for.
Thank you.
