I need to create an array pointer that point to a DS that has an array
in it.  Below is what I came up with.

D listMast        s               *   dim(512)
D list            ds                  based(list_p) qualified
D  lastElem                      5i 0
D  item                         50    dim(10000)

This won't work. The "list" data structure is 500002 bytes long. The maximum size of a named data structure is 65535 bytes long.

 listMast(1) = %alloc(%size(list.lastElem)+%size(list.item)*100);
 listMast(2) = %alloc(%size(list.lastElem)+%size(list.item)*100);

Here's you're only allocating memory for 100 items, despite that your dim() lists 10000. Is that intentional?

Can I ask what you're doing to accomplish? You've used an array of pointers for something that doesn't require pointer logic. Yet, you've used a big huge array for something else that probably does require pointer logic. What's your goal?
