Is this right? Are operational descriptors are not passed for arrays?


This is a quote from the ILE RPG Programmer's Guide:

   Note: Currently, the ILE RPG compiler only supports operational
         descriptors for character and graphic fields and subfields.
         Operational descriptors are not available for data structures,
         arrays, or tables. In addition, operational descriptors are
         not available for data of type numeric, date, time,
         timestamp, basing pointer or procedure pointer.

As you can see, it says that "operational descriptors are not available for data structures, arrays, or tables."

You'll need to pass the number of elements somehow. Either in an additional parameter, or in a subfield of a data structure. There's no way to derive it from an operational descriptor.
