Re: Qualified Data Area array

Yes I am at v5r2, however it looks like I can't use the following three
keywords together...
dim(10) qualified dtaara(rm21da)
RNF3325E The keyword is not allowed following keyword DIM; keyword is
ignored.



Are you on V5R2? If so, code it as:

========================================================
d pathds          ds                  dim(10) qualified
d   marker                       3  0
d   path                       100a
 /free
    for x = 1 to %elem(pathds);
       if pathds(x).marker = somevar;
            path = pathds(x).path;
       endif;
    endfor;
 /endfree
========================================================

Cheers! Hans

It's not the destination that counts in life it's the journey. The journey
with the people we love is all that really matters. Such a simple truth so
easily forgotten.
