Re: also a senior moment - compile time array

I don't have an RPG III manual at hand, but I thought that in both II and III (which, with E specs it has to be one or the other) the arrays did have to be defined after Output in the exact same order in which they are defined in the E-specs. I do know that this is true for II and that descriptions on the '**' lines are irrelevant to the compiler (and useful to humans).

The name of the array is MADE, but you're specifying it as ARRAY on
the array data (**) line. You can have multiple compile time arrays
and they don't have to be in the order specified on the D (or E ?)
specs if you specify a name. If this is the only compile time array,
or the arrays are specified in the same order as they are defined,
either take off the name on the ** line or specify the same name on
the ** line as the name of the array.

How are you addressing the array elements?

Compiler had no warning. Just was stumped I already re-did it bec. it
had to be put in but was curious how it would not show on debug.

E MADE 1 3 50

Goes to pos. 50

** ARRAY MSG
"TECHNOLOGIES INC. IS THE ".
"MADE IN CHINA".
"INDUSTRIES IS THE ".

At the minimum we'll need the definition spec for this compile time
array.
And the ** line and perhaps a line or two after that.

Subject
also a senior moment - compile time array






I have an older program that we added a compile time array, for printing
messages.. It is visible on the code specs but it won't print. I
debugged it and it shows blanks.

Any ideas for the reason it is not being accepted by the program? I can
certainly change it to a constant but it sort of mimics an existing
program.

TIA,

Phil
