Re: Variable dimension arrays

I have successfully used constants.  I believe this is possible because the
constant has been defined at compile time.   I question whether a true
variable will be able to be used since the number of elements in the array
must be know at compile time.

 * Maximum Size to Define Data Structures and Arrays for Program
 * Equals the number of Field Elements in the Data Structure
D MaxDsSize       C                   Const(141)
D DateDsName      S                   Dim(MaxDsSize) Like(In2Field)
 * Array of Pointers to each Field in DateDS Data Structure
D DateDsPtr       S               *   Dim(MaxDsSize)

Hi All,

I am trying to use a variable for my DIM statement.  When I try to compile
the program, I get an error that says the identifier is not recognized and
it is defaulted to 1.

It was my understanding that RPGILE allows for using a variable for
defining
the DIM in an array.  Did I misunderstand that or am I doing something
wrong.  We are at V4R2.

Thanks
Ron
