Re: compile error on %lookup where array is the return value of a procedure

[Mel Rothman <mel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The second level text of message RNF0571 states:

Cause . . . . . :   The second parameter for built-in function 
%LOOKUP, %LOOKUPGE, %LOOKUPGT, %LOOKUPLE, or %LOOKUPLT must be the 
name of an array.

Clearly, the expression, getArray(), is not the name of an array.

As someone else suggested, you can do the following because myArray IS 
the name of an array:

D myArray         S              3    Dim(8)

C                   Eval      myArray = getArray()
C                   if        %lookup('   ' :myArray) > 0
C                   endif
