RE: updating a PF from an array

Generally when I have to do this I use the D specs...it's easier & more
efficient (IMO)...
 
D                     DS
D Alpha                           10a  
D ARD                             1a   DIM(10) Overlay(Alpha)

Now the array can be referenced via array element or as a 10 byte char
field.  Not to mention you no longer have to "move" the array data.
Both fields point to the same block of memory.


Thanks,
Tommy Holden
