Re: Variable dimension arrays

["chandran balaji" <cbalajivk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hey ron,

    when u want to use a variable in the dimension, u can specify it as the 
number of elements of a like array. And i think DIM can take %elem or a 
numeric constant and not a variable for a value.

D like_array      S                   like(arr1d) dim(%elem(arr1d))


Thanks

Hi All,

I am trying to use a variable for my DIM statement.  When I try to compile
the program, I get an error that says the identifier is not recognized and
it is defaulted to 1.

It was my understanding that RPGILE allows for using a variable for defining
the DIM in an array.  Did I misunderstand that or am I doing something
wrong.  We are at V4R2.

Thanks
Ron
