Re: Load a record into a data structure for DEBUGGING purposes.

V5R2 allows you to read the file directly into that data structure.  Prior 
to that using a data structure on a read was limited to internally defined 
file.  Look at the read opcode for V5R2.
And if you don't like prefix, there's always qualified.

Load a record into a data structure for DEBUGGING purposes.






I have looked around for this one:

I need a way to load a record from a file:
FMPSSum    uf a e           k disk

Into a data structure (maybe something like this):
D MPSDs         e ds                  extname(MPSSum)

So when I do debug, I can see all field values by saying EVAL MPSDS for 
example.

The problem is that the compiler is not allowing me to do this because the 
field
names are already defined.  Of course, I have the fields all "spreaded" in 
the
calculations and then I write/update the record.  "However, I need to 
debug the
data and I want to be able to see it all and not by individual EVAL 
commands.

I have the impression that I read, maybe in the list, that is possible to 
import
data from a record into a specific data structure.

Any ideas?  TIA,
