RE: How to scan an entire array all at once (Corrected source) -- RPG400-L

Hi Michael,

<snip>

You can still use this approach in your downstream program. Instead of allocating the storage and using the pointer on your MQGET, use the address of your array or DS. This should give you access to the "raw" data that you can "parse" using the C functions mentioned by Scott Klement.

Yes it is a great solution and that is what I did do.

BTW:

What data/information is available at the time your program will execute? Obviously the array or DS, but do you have access to the "data length" value returned on the MQGET? As this thread progresses, more information and inhibitors become available. Perhaps if you identified what you have access too and what your constraints are, we could provide additional insight/feedback.

That is a great thought but the process that will call my function has already pulled the message off the queue and 'massaged' it so it is not the same length as it was on the queue.

Thanks for the ideas - I appreciate the help.

regards
Marilyn
