Re: move record format to a data structure

["Booth Martin" <Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I understand what you are trying to do, you can make another Data
structure (Or even a field) with the name:
 
D CurrentValues  E DS   extname(DSPFILE :DSPFILE01) qualified
D DSPFILE01Bef     S    Like(CurrentValues)
...
C Move CurrentValues  DSPFILE01Bef

Subject: move record format to a data structure
 
correction:
 
is there anyway to move a record format to a data structure without declare
a DS with the record format name? For example: display file name DSPFILE has
a record format of DSPFILE01. I want to be able to do the following:
 
FDSPFILE CF E WORKSTN 
 
D DSPFILE01Bef E DS extname(DSPFILE :DSPFILE01) qualified
 
 
C move DSPFILE01 DSPFILE01Bef
C . . . 
 
 
I get the following compile error:
*RNF7260 30 12159 951623 The Factor 2 operand DSPFILE01 is not valid for the
specified operation.
