Re: Checking indicators

Barbara 

Thanks - I was hoping it would do what MOVEA does - it is offered, in the help 
text, as the free-form function to use instead of MOVEA.

Barbara - that is very cool. 

I tried the following, and thought it should work 

char10 = %subarr(*in : 1 : 10); 

but i get the following message 

RNF5343 30 5 000500 Array has too many omitted indexes; 

The second level text is not helpful - nothing about that message is 
helpful, or I at least have no idea what I can do about it. Wait, is 
it that i had set only *IN(10) - which i had - so it thinks it is a 
sparse array? 

The message is trying to tell you that you can't assign an array to a 
non-array. %subarr(*in10 : 1 : 10) returns an array of 10 indicators. 
It's basically the same as trying to do this, which isn't supported. 
char99 = *in; 

You can't compare arrays at all, even one array compared to another. So 
you can't use %subarr in a comparison.
