RE: Array/ Data Deciamal

["Hopkins, Bill" <BHopkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Buck,

"Not alot of code" in pgm but "IN alot of Code".

"Z-add0 AR" - it does not look like it is moving zeros into
every position of AR. "z-addAR,2 #ACCTO 130" Or AR,2 would
have had zeros not blanks?

Thanks for "I in the 'type of data structure' column" but DS  1 130 AR is
130 alpha. Sub fields
numeric. Would "I" move in blanks or zeros.
and AR Array is numeric 10 130. ?? Could I move AR 1 130 below Sub fields?

Thanks
 Bill H

Data structures are initialised to *BLANK when the program starts.  You can
override this with an I in the 'type of data structure' column.  This
doesn't help with 'stale' values left after a good CHAIN.  The Z-ADD0 AR is
good practise after a 'no hit' scenario; why do you feel this is a lot of
code?
