RE: MODS?? Help.

This is what I use.

H BNDDIR('QC2LE')
D bSearch         pr              *   ExtProc('bsearch')    
D  LookFor                        *   Options(*String) Value
D  ArrayPtr                       *   Value                 
D  ArrayLen                     10U 0 Inz(0) Value   
D  ElemSize                     10U 0 Inz(0) Value   
D  CompFunc                       *   ProcPtr Value

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,

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

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,
