Booth,

%LOOKUP is allowed in fixed format. And it is valid as long as XMLFIELD is an Array.

If XMLFIELD is indeed a string field, then you would be correct in using the %SCAN.

And Mr. Rodriguez is correct to suggest that %TLOOKUP is used if XMLFIELD is a table.

I assumed that the code already worked in it's /free syntax. No other choice as he provides no error messages or D-specs.

Is %lookup allowed in fixed format? I believe that %lookup and LOOKUP
are not the same opcode, and can not be used interchangeably.

If I am reading the code correctly, will you need to use %scan instead?

Ok, I know everyone is going to cringe on this one.

I'm having trouble converting from RPGLE free to fixed format with this statement:

/free
fnd = %lookup(%subst(bighunkdata:gt:len) : xmlfield );
/end-free

Thanks,
