RE: Compile Time Array...

["Dan Bale" <dbale@xxxxxxxxx>]

No, DIM says how many elements are in the array.  PERRCD says how many
elements appear on each line.  Nothing indicates how many lines are
necessary to fill the array.

I confirmed my last post.  The error you're getting is a result of having
another record after your line of state abbs that is not '**' in cols. 1&2

If you have all the state codes in 1 line, you should have Dim(1) PerRcd(50)
I believe the DIM keyword tells the compiler how many lines of data are in
the
compile time array.  I suspect the compile has a severity 00 (or 10) message
saying you have not filled the array because it expects 50 lines and only
finds one.
I could be very wrong here, of course, but what have you got to lose except
time? <g>
