Re: data structure length problem

In RPGIV it will work, wanna try CVTRPGSRC?
If you still want to use RPGIII try this:
IMM          DS                        801            
I                                        1 200 X1     
I                                        1  10 FIELD1 
I                                       11  15 FIELD2 
I                                      201 400 X2     
I                                      401 402 FIELDA 
I                                      403 415 FIELDB 

MM is 801 bytes long only the subfields must be not longer
than 256.
