Hi Tilo,

IIRC the field Record is added to the datastructure, thus making the datastructure longer than the record. You should add OVERLAY(DSHISTRC) to the Record field.

Hi I am trying to update a file using a datastructure because I want to update
24 fields on the file as an array

UPDATE RISREC DSHISTRC;
the compiler gives the following error message:
*RNF7701 20 The data structure is not allowed for the operation.
What am I doing wrong?
