Tommy's right, as usual. And the Overlay() technique is the one I use, too.I did, however, want to point out that one usually wants to use the MOVEA (not the MOVE) op-code when dealing with arrays. Details too lengthy to go into here so check either the RPG reference manual or Cozzi's book.

Does your DS look like this??D DS D ARC 10aD ARD 1a DIM(10) Overlay(ARC)If so then anything you move into ARC should automagically populate the array. Likewise if you load the array it should automagically load the char field.

I noticed that a plain MOVE does not actually do it, MOVE J8CMNT ARC the array stays blank after this statement.Generally when I have to do this I use the D specs...it's easier &moreefficient (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.
