If folks look at www.think400.dk/downloads.htm you will find a document on
mapping null indicators to names that I wrote "

*Using Nulls in RPG and SQL". *
Very handy little trick.

I only ever use named indicators; never tried an array.

Then I guess you have never used the below parameter choice so
that the SQL precompiler automatically iterates the list of columns for
you and automatically matches them up with the appropriate element from
the SQL indicator array shown below?

exec sql execute IMLFCMDRSM_Insert_Stmt
using :IMLFCMP_View1 :IMLFCMP_Ind;

Late response, but yes I do that almost the same way you do. The
'trick' referenced below is to overlay the array over the individual
indicator fields in the DS.

* this is a trick. The named struct is to enable the overlay,
* the array is to enable ...fetch next into...
* the individual fields are so that the test for
* null makes sense in English
daftofc5Inds ds
d roleId#Ind 5i 0 overlay(aftofc5Inds)
...
d roleCodeCdInd 5i 0 overlay(aftofc5Inds: *next)
...
d aftofc5Ind 5i 0 dim(15) overlay(aftofc5Inds)



exec sql fetch next from aftofc5
into :aftofc5 :aftofc5Ind;
...
if rolecodecdInd <> ISNULL;
roleId = rolecodecd;
else;
roleId = 'None';
endif;
