You "can" use anything you want.
My point was it is redundant.
Inz(0) INZ(*ZEROS) is the same as not specifying the INZ keyword on
stand-alone
numeric fields.

WOW...

Can we at least use INZ(0)???

Three things.

1) Specify the data-type for every field. Odds are you are declaring
fields as
ZONED when you mean packed, or packed when you mean zoned.
2) Stop using @ in your field names. This is 2006 not 1976.
3) No reason to use INZ(*ZEROS) on a numeric stand-alone field.

Hi all,
 I have the following procedure in a service program that would be
called
quite a few times from different programs.

How can I improve this procedure for performance? I am a little worried
about how the ReasonDS is declared.
Basically I need an Array of the Datastructure that the procedure can
return. I also need to be able to look up this array with @RsnCode as
the
key.


* Array of Data structures to hold reason code details
D  ReasonDS       DS          5400
D   @RsnCode                     2A   Dim(200)
D   @Charge                      9  2 Dim(200)
D   @Weight                      9  0 Dim(200)
D   @Units                       7  0 Dim(200)


P BilUtil_getReasonTotals...
P                 B                   Export

D BilUtil_getReasonTotals...
D                 PI                  LikeDS(ReasonDS)
D @prPlant_                      3  0 Value
D @prBillTo_                     5  0 Value
D @prBillDate_                    D   Value
D @prInvoice_                    5  0 Value

 * Return Data structure
D tempReasonDS    DS                  LikeDS(ReasonDS)

 * Local variables
D @Count          S              2  0 Inz(*Zeros)
D @tCount         S              2  0 Inz(*Zeros)
D @Century        S              2  0 Inz(*Zeros)
D @BillDt         S              6  0 Inz(*Zeros)
