RE: What is syntax for arrays within array?

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's what works for me.  There may be something more elegant than explicit
offsets:

D                 DS
D QtyOH                          5S 0 Dim(125)
D  QtyOHS                 1    125S 0 Dim(25)
D  QtyOHN               126    250S 0 Dim(25)
D  QtyOHM               251    375S 0 Dim(25)
D  QtyOHW               376    500S 0 Dim(25)
D  QtyOHWW              501    625S 0 Dim(25)
D
D x               s                   like(qtyoh)
C                   for       x = 1 to 125
C                   eval      qtyoh(x) = x
C                   endfor
C                   eval      *inlr = *on
