RE: Number of Elements in DIM

You can't do this directly, but you can make the array based. Then
allocate/deallocate contiguous memory to it as needed. Just give it an
initial number, like 100. Then as you need more use the %alloc BIF or
Alloc OpCode to allocate more memory to the array, thus increasing it's
dimension. There are some examples in the archives.

Subject: Number of Elements in DIM

I am trying to assign a variable as number of elements instead of a
constant.
   
  example.
   
  d FileRecs         s           Dim(100)
   
  I am trying 
   
  d FileRecs         s          Dim(Num)
   
  Any ideas will be greatly apreciated.
