Re: Little help on the I-SPEC

[Mark McCarty <M_McCarty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jerry,

An array listing might look something like this:

      d MSG                 S          25   CTDATA DIM(1) PERRCD(1)

then we you want to include message:
       c                      eval      COMMSG = MSG(1)

at the bottom of your program is where you list your CTDATA (all the way
to the left):
  
**CTDATA MSG
EXCESS COMMISSION EARNED

The reason you may want to use a compile time array is that with this
approach you can include all messages in the program and just reference
the needed message within the MSG(x).
 
Hope this helps a little.
