The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
The INITIALIZE variable initializes the entire table to spaces - it does the same thing when you initialize an entire record level that contains only numeric elements. To initialize every element, you have to loop through the table.
I can't tell you why but I can assure you it does not work the way you want it to.

Hi.
Given:
05 ws-tabel occurs 10.
10 ws-elem pic 9.
I expected all 10 ws-elem to be set to zero when 'INITIALIZE ws-table'
was executed. Only ws-elem(1) is set to zero.
What am I doing wrong?
Mvh.
Geir Kildal.
