I would like to load a file into an array with one of the fields being a
field name that can then be used in the RPGLE program. Right now I have to
hard code the field name that I want to use for my scan operation. How can
I use the array element name?
For something like that, you might want to consider SQL, rather than
conventional record-level access.
Are we talking about what it sounds like we're talking about, accessing
files whose structure isn't known at compile-time? If so, then you
basically have two problems to solve, if using record-level access:
first, you need to open the file as program-described, in order to have
full control over where the data goes, and second, you have to get the
meta-data from somewhere (QuestView, for example, gets it through
various system API calls).
