RE: MODS?? Help.

I've been fighting with this same issue. Does anyone have an RPG Prototype
for the bsearch() c function. I think I can wrap that in a service program.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Ron

Have you thought about creating a 999 element one character array that you
initialise with blanks?  Then, whenever you write an occurence out to the
MODS, you put an "X" (or other non-blank character) into the appropriate
element of the one character array.  You can then %lookup for the first
blank element, and the resulting index should be the first occurrenc in
your
MODS.

All the best

Subject: MODS?? Help.


Ok, Tuesday feels like Monday now.  Trying to find the first occurrence in
a MODS that is not filled up?  (Hope that makes sense) and then load it
with my information.  I tried using %LOOKUP on the first field name, but
it's not an array so that's wrong.  Here's my MODS:
     ?* Affected Streets Data Structure Array
     d Sprop_Rec       Ds           136    Occurs(999)
     d  Sspstat                       1    Overlay(Sprop_Rec:*Next)
     d  Sspstr#                       4  0 Overlay(Sprop_Rec:*Next)
     d  Ssploc                       30    Overlay(Sprop_Rec:*Next)
     d  Sspstak                       4  0 Overlay(Sprop_Rec:*Next)
     d  Ssploct                      30    Overlay(Sprop_Rec:*Next)
     d  Ssplds1                      30    Overlay(Sprop_Rec:*Next)
     d  Ssplds2                      30    Overlay(Sprop_Rec:*Next)

Now let's say there are a couple of occurences filled with info I want,
how do I find the first blank occurrence?  I know if it were an array
field I could do
Eval      z = %LookUp(' ':MyArray:1) and that would give me the first
blank index.  Thanks,
