Forgive my ignorance, but I'm stumped. In upgrading a very old legacy RPG
program, I'd like to use a variable to hold one of a dozen data area names
(that are now hard-coded). We are at V5R3. (Last Compiler PTF is SI17429.)
my 'D' specs:
D ds 1024 dtaara(*var : dara_name)
D dara_name s 10
The compiler likes the 'D' specs well enough, but when it sees the 'IN'
statement, it fails saying that 'dara_name' in the IN statement is not the
name of a data area.
C in dara_name
Adding subfields under the 'ds', and every other variation I've tried,
makes no difference. I'm missing something really basic, aren't I?
Thanks for any help.
