RE: Updating file via datastructure

Hi Joep 

Thanks for you reply. 

I tried your suggestion and the compiler stoped with the same error.
I changed the code to 

> DDSHISTRC       E DS                  EXTName(SHISTRCL1)      
> D    RM                          3P 0 OVERLAY(DSHISTRC:72) DIM(24)   

and it still gave the same problem. 

According to the manual this should not be a problem.

Thanks

Tilo

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.
