But why get into using pointers (which will confuse at least 50% of those who come later) when they aren't needed?

Craig,

Would this work?

D Positions Like(PositionsDS)
D Inz('+
D fFhH+
D footerfooterheaderheader')
D PositionsPtr * Inz(%addr(Positions)
D PositionsDS DS Based(PositionsPtr)
D Position 1A Dim(4)
D PosValue 6A Dim(4)

I've used this format in many programs.

D ItemTypes DS
D 7A INZ('CCredit')
D 7A INZ('DDebit ')
D ItemType 7A OVERLAY(ItemTypes) DIM(2)
D ItemTypeKey 1A OVERLAY(ItemType)
D ItemTypeDsc 6A OVERLAY(ItemType:*next)

I find it easier to interpret the data structure when each entry in the
array has one INZ entry.
Since my data is related, this setup allows simple lookups.

VIDX = %LOOKUP(S0CITYPE:ItemTypeKey);
IF VIDX > 0;
S0CITYPED = ItemTypeDsc(vIdx);
ENDIF;

I posted an example of what I am trying to do (define two

arrays with initialization values) at

[1]http://code.midrange.com/c7ffa28dce.html

Is the code shown in the example the simplest/best way to define and
initialize the arrays? If not, what is a better alternative (in
D-specs).

Thanks
