Re: ILE D-spec question

Try this.

 D OTXT            DS
  D Alpha_String           1125
 D TXT                           75    DIM(15)  Overlay(Alpha_String)
 D  OPPTX1                   75                    Overlay(Alpha_String:1)
 D  OPPTX2                   75                    Overlay(Alpha_String:76)

and so forth through OPPTX15.  A little bit of a change, but it should do
the job.

> There is an existing file on the system that can hold up to fifteen
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.

at run time MOVEA OTXT to TXT for every record prior to processing.  I'm
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.
