RE: How to access to an Array of String

Hi Jaques,

Here's a freeform and fixed form example.

dcl-ds stringDS;
*n Like( lStringArray ) Inz( 'toto' );
*n Like( lStringArray ) Inz( 'tutu' );
*n Like( lStringArray ) Inz( 'tata' );
lStringArray varchar( 100 ) Dim( 3 );
end-ds;

return lStringArray;

D stringDS DS
D *n Like( lStringArray ) Inz( 'toto' )
D *n Like( lStringArray ) Inz( 'tutu' )
D *n Like( lStringArray ) Inz( 'tata' )
D lStringArray 100a Varying Dim( 3 )

return lStringArray;

I wasn't aware of *n until the new freeform came out, so I don't know if that's available in fixed format on older versions or not. If not, simply replace with a name. I also went with a random size for your string array.

Note: these aren't null-terminated strings.

Subject: How to access to an Array of String

Hello,

I would like to access to a String[] Array .The data is a list (I think a null terminated string but not sure) .

The java code is like this :
/**
* @return A String array
*/
public String[] getStringArray() {
String[] lStringArray = new String[]{ "toto", "tutu", "tata" };
return lStringArray;
}




Does anyone have an example of how this can be done from RPG.
Jacques
