Re: Issue with embedded lists in a command

Hi Rick,

I found the following code that should do what you want it to do after you
modify it for your exact numbers.

CMD PROMPT('Sample Command')
PARM KWD(LWITHINL3) TYPE(LWLSPECC) MAX(3) +
PROMPT('REPEATED SIMPLE WITHIN MIXED')
LWLSPECC: ELEM TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(5) MAX(1) PROMPT('SIMPLE +
LIST WITHIN A LIST')
ELEM TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(2) MAX(5)


Yours truly,

Subject: Issue with embedded lists in a command

I am working on a command that I want to have a list as one of the
parameters but I also want the parameter to contain a list as one of the
elements.

I have a code value as the first parameter. For that code value there are
four pieces of information; the code itself, a start date, an end date,
and message information. The message information is itself a list made up
of the message text, configuration text, and size text. So far so good.

Where the issue comes in is when I define the code and message as lists.
There can be up to two codes and there could be up to three message lines
for each code. When I specify the code with a max value of two (MAX(2))
and the message with a max value of three (MAX(3)) the command will not
compile and I get the error shown here. Displaying second level text
didn't tell me anything I didn't already know.

CPD0258 30 More than three levels of nesting specified for keyword
ENRCODE.

I have posted the code here http://code.midrange.com/bf8f32f019.html.

I am not seeing where the three levels are. It looks to me like just two;
the ENRCODE PARM line, and the ELEM line with ENRMSG. Can someone help
me out with what I'm missing?
