Patrick, until V5R1, the parameter for DIM has to be known at the time the DIM is encountered. In your case, you have "item" coming from an externally-described file, but the I specs are done too late, after the D specs. You could try coding an externally described data structure to get an explicit definition for "item". Fmyfile if e disk D e ds extname(myfile) D #item s like(item) D #itemScan s 1a dim(%size(#Item)) In V5R1, the rules for DIM were changed to allow forward referencing of the dimension. If you're doing a MOVEA from #item to #itemScan so you can do string operations on the array, you might consider doing some combination of string operations directly on #item, instead.
