DIM(x) is what you are looking for...for an array. OCCURS() in RPG is a
multiple occurrence data structure, not an array.

Need OCCURS when defining data structures
Sent by:
rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx



I'm on a V5R2 machine and rewriting a program that currently uses 60
element
arrays when processing records. As part of the processing I have to move
element 59 to element 60, 58 to 59, etc and put the newly read record in
element 1. A friend (thanks Marshall) suggested that instead of using
arrays, define the arrays as data structures and move the data structure
instead. This should be much faster. But do I have to define each
element
as part of the larger data structure? I guess there's no "OCCURS X TIMES"
in RPG, eh?

TIA.
