Re: comparing ds array subfields

Since I'm a big fan of LIKEDS, I'd convert the data structure to a
"template" (a structure that's just used as a template for creating other
data structures) and then I'd create a copy that's all zeroes to compare
to.



     DBrnTotal         ds                  likeds(BrnTotal_t)
     D                                     dim(999)
     D                                     inz(*LIKEDS)

     DBrnZeroes        ds                  likeds(BrnTotal_t)
     D                                     inz(*LIKEDS)

      /free

          For Brn = 1 to %elem(BrnTotal);
              if (BrnTotal(Brn) <> BrnZeroes);


Wow, that's my favorite of the answers I've seen!  Thanks, Scott.

BTW, Joep - yes BTAM59 was my correct first field. Thanks for the overflow answer on my loop; I probably should have known that, but at least I can change Brn to LIKE(branch) +1 instead of 10.

Of course, the best part is that it worked!  Thanks to all who replied.
