RE: Data Structure array/Lookup questions

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

What is the going rate for 5722ST1 for your machine?  If it's under two 
weeks pay and management won't go for it, you need to look elsewhere - 
they're about to go broke.  And if they plan on ponying up the money for a 
new iSeries with Enterprise Edition I think they throw that in.  (Although 
the definition of Enterprise Edition seems to vary with the cost of the 
machine.  Which rather flies in the face of tiered pricing in the first 
place.)

I don't think you can dimension a 'traditional' array that way.  There are 

other arrays, playing tricks with %alloc or some such animal.  However, I 
get the impression that is one feature the compiler developers wish they 
could take back.

Do you even need to look at the detail information?  I take it this isn't 
some simple report or you wouldn't even need arrays, just print at control 

break time.  Would a SQL GROUP BY with a fetch loop work?

Thanks for the reply.  This is not for a report, it is for a data extract.
And the file is keyed by date, to avoid reading through the entire 13mil
records. 

I don't want to resort to "trickery"... I will look into this %alloc 
animal
though, because I would use some well-documented, reliably built 
"trickery",
for this case. 

Using SQL would work, except for I don't have the Licensed Goods, so I 
would
have to resort to using Call Level Interface, which seems to be a lot of
extra coding for the desired result.
