RE: Adding field to data structure

I see, you can extend a file's layout in a DS by using Extname. I predominantly use LikeRec and have really only used Extname for defining templates.

That said, I think it's a big jump to say that extending a DS created with ExtName is ok but extending a DS created with LikeRec is complete nonsense. In both of these scenarios the DS is "like" a file layout.

However, since the capability is there with ExtName, that's good enough for me.

You can already do it with an externally described DS Kurt - and it would make a complete nonsense of it being "like" the record.

That said, it'd be nice to be able to extend such a data structure. Can't say I've needed that functionality a lot, but here and there it would have been nice.

You cannot add to the end of a LikeRec structure Jim - if you could it wouldn't be "like" the record.

Not exactly sure what you are trying to do - but if you ultimately want a DS array then maybe something like this?

D* store data from file and formatted part for each part
D vcdataArr ds Dim(99)
D vcdata likerec(inmvcross1)
D vfmtpart like(inmvpart)
D vfmtcpart like(inmvcpart)

Friday afternoon. Trying to add fields to the end of a data
structure to later use in a data structure array. Can't remember how.
Thought it was like this.


D* store data from file and formatted part for each part
D vcdata ds likerec(inmvcross1)
D vfmtpart like(inmvpart)
D vfmtcpart like(inmvcpart)

D* data structure array to store a part/vmrs group for processing
D vc ds likeds(vcdata) dim(200)

Get this error
*RNF3703 20 2 The subfield or parameter definition is not specified
within a group.
on vfmtpart and vfmtcpart

Thanks
