Re: Compile Time Array in a Module

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Buzz,

You can't use CTDATA or PERRCD in subprocedures.  If you think about it,
it makes sense:   CTDATA means that there is data at the bottom of the
*program* that the array is to be initialized with.   Since you can't
do it on a per-subprocedure basis, the keyword really doesn't make sense
in a subprocedure.

Instead, use an alternate method of initializing that table.
Perhaps using the INZ keyword on a D-spec...
