RE: DDS arrays

[Chris Bipes <rpg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My understanding is there is one continuous buffer.  When you look at a
dump, all fields that are defined continuous in the source are continuous in
the buffer.  It should work.  No matter where you place the fields on the
screen.  Just make sure that no one resort the fields with SDA if the fields
are not continuous on the screen. :-)

Good Luck,

A                    R CODEFLC01
A                       CFDX1          9P   0       COLHDG('Decimal Value

A                       CFDX6          9P   0       COLHDG('Decimal Value
1')

FCODEFLC01    IF                        K DISK

D ArrayPtr   P                *           INZ(%ADDR(CFDX1))
D D6           P               9  0         DIM(6) BASED(ArraPtr)

Would that work in this case?  I remember hearing somewhere that fields
were not guaranteed to be contiguous in memory, is that true for external
declarations also?  If it would work this way, I think it would be the way
to go, everything is self documented.

This is what I am going to try to see if it works.

Thank you for your help, Eric, Douglas and Peter, I appreciate it.
