Compile Time Array in a Module

["Jon Paris" <Jon.Paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 >> The code has several arrays utilizing compile-time data.  Module
creation fails stating that the use of CTDATA is not allowed in a
subprocedure.

Not to discourage you from subprocedures, which are wonderful, but you could
have turned this into a bindable procedure simply by compiling with
CRTRPGMOD and calling it with CALLP.

That said - if you want to keep compile time arrays and use them from the
subproc(s) then the answer is simply to place them in the Global portion of
the source.  So your source sequence is like so:

 H spec
 F specs
 D specs for compile time arrays i.e. Global data
 P spec to start subproc
 D spec for procedure interface
 D specs for local data
 C specs for subproc
 P spec to end subproc
 ** compile time data

This example compiles just fine:

     H NoMain
     D Proc            Pr
     D Array           S              4    CtData PerRcd(1) Dim(2)
     P Proc            B
     D                 PI
     C                   Eval      Array(1) = 'X'
     C                   return
     P Proc            E
