Re: File having an array using new free form

Won't work Rob.

The Overlay item cannot be bigger than the thing it overlays. If FirstColumn... is the first column in the record then you could use Pos(1) instead of overlay. You could also work out the position and use that - but I hate using anything but Pos(1) in a record as the layout could change.

Thanks for the reply Justin
The answer to your question is - I don't know
Im having a complete moronic time at the moment

I have a file called CHNLANALP that has this
dcl-ds CHA Extname('CHNLANALP') qualified end-ds;
In the program
The last 32 fields on this file need to be redefined as
Indfield DIM(32)

But I just cannot see what I need to do

Hope that makes sense

Assuming you're asking about RPG, can't you just define you I/O data
structure to contain an array?

Hi everyone
Before I forget - we are on V7r1

Here is my situation - hope that it makes sense

I have defined a file where the last 32 fields on the record are all the
same size Fields 1 through 31 represent the day of the month, with field
32 being the total of fields 1 through 31

How can I define these fields within my program (using new free-form) so
that these 32 fields are an array That way, I can use the day of the month
to determine which occurrence I need to deal with

Like I said - I hope my question makes sense

As always - all answers gratefully accepted
