Re: RPG400 SDA query?

["Joe Teff" <jteff19@xxxxxxx>]

When I want my screen fields to automatically map into an array, I just rename 
them on the I-spec. For this example, our record format name in the DSPF will 
be SCREEN.

for RPG4

ISCREEN
I                              QN001                    QN(1)
I                              QN002                    QN(2)
 
D QN                                                     3          Dim(2)
 
for RPG3

E             ARRAY      2  3                

ISCREEN
I                               QN001                  QN,1
I                               QN002                  QN,2
