RE: Moving array elements to a file

If the file is externally described, then it will bring in QTY1, QTY2,
QTY3... QTY366.

There is no way to map them directly into an array named QTY. :(
You have to do a data structure

D  Input       E DS                ExtName(InputFile)
D* .... input data fields will appear here (including QTY1... QTY366)
D

D pData          S              *  Based(QTY1)
D LargeArray     S                 Dim(366) Like(Qty1) based(pData)

D WorkArray      S                 Dim(366) Like(Qty1)


In your program the array you're filling up with the quantities is named
WORKARRAY. You would then just move that array to the LARGEARRAY field
and it should work fine---no need to move in a DO Loop.

C                 MOVE   WORKARRAY              LARGEARRAY
