Re: Resize array at runtime in RPG ILE ?

["Mike Eovino" <meovino@xxxxxxxxx>]

Luqman,

Are you coming to RPG from another language?  I ask that because I
started programming in VB, and I asked the same sort of question. 
People looked at me like I had three heads ;-)  The short answer is
that a traditional array, created with a Dim(), can't be
redimensioned.

Most of our programmers in my shop just make their arrays big enough
to handle any situation. This occasionally causes problems when
business circumstances change.  Others use temp files or linked lists
or user indexes.
