If the file object OBFUPC30 has DFT() values specified, you could use INZ(*EXTDFT) to initialize the fields in the DS to their default values...

Subject: Populating External DS at V5R1.


I have a short test program



FOBFUPC30 IF E K DISK



d dsBFUC30 E DS EXTNAME(OBFUPC30)

d order S Like(d3ord)



/FREE

Read OBFUPC30;

order = d3ord;

*INLR = *ON;

Return;

/END-FREE



If I set a break point at *INLR = *ON the only field populated in dsBFUC30
is d3ord.

Only by using the field in the C specs is it populated.

My question is, at V5R1 is there another way to populate all the remaining
fields of dsBUFC30 without using the fields in the C specs?



Thanks in advance,



Rob R.
