Re: Moving Record Format to Data Structure

As far as I know, you can't save a data structure over a record format. 
You must use another data structure, like "SavedRecordH".  When you read 
the first record, the data structure "SavedRecordH" will be automatically 
loaded with the information you need and then you can move all the field 
values nicely to your existing data structure named "SavedRecord", like:


===========================================
FSE2001H1  IF   E           K Disk    Rename(SE1001RH : SE2001H1R)
F                                     Prefix(hst)

D SavedRecord   E Ds                  ExtName(SE2001H1) Prefix(sav)
D SavedRecordH  E Ds                  ExtName(SE2001H1) Prefix(hst)

C                   Eval      SavedRecord = SavedRecordH
===========================================


I do not know clearly what are you trying to accomplish but on this 
example, whenever you deal with the data structure, you must use another 
data structure.

This is based on my understanding.  Probably somebody can correct me if I 
am wrong or clarify the subject even more.

Good luck!
