Re: ILE D-spec question

Hi Rich,

Just make the TXT definition part of the OTXT data structure overlaying it:

D OTXT            DS
D  OPPTX1
    .
    .
    .
D  OPPT15
D TXT                           75    DIM(15) overlay(OTXT:1)

individual lines of text, represented by the data structure above.  Each
line of text happens to be 75 bytes long.  For processing reasons, I need to
load the text lines into an array.

sure there must be an easy way to automagically overlay the data structure
on the array, and cut my memory requirement in half, but I didn't find any
good clues in the AS/400 ILE RPG reference.
