RE: Output a Qualified DS array element

Yeah, funny thing is, individually these things work fine..  Common array 
element, works fine.  Qualified DS subfield, works fine.  But as soon as you 
try a qualified DS array element subfield, it falls over....  I'll pass along 
your sugggestion, but I think he's already got a workaround in place...

Thanks,
Eric

I am not so sure that it is the qualification that is a problem.  I think 
it is more the fact that you are trying to use an array element.  Do a 
little testing and see.

Submit a DCR to get them to allow this.

Here's one possible solution:
PrintDetail(Sfy(1).ord : Sfy(2).ord);

P PrintDetail            B
D PrintDetail            PI
D   Col1                 like(something) const
D   Col2                 like(something) const

and put Col1 and Col2 on your O specs.
Benefit is that PrintDetail can also do the worrying about checking for 
page overflow, etc.
