Anybody got any idea why this would not work? We are at V5R4 and it is
my understanding that multiple dimension array for an SQL statement can
either be an OCCURS or a DIM but the DIM does not compile.

This will not compile. The pre-compiler throws it out as an invalid data
structure.

d dsStateMap...
d ds Qualified
d Dim(32765)
d Based(ptrStateTable)
d State...
d Like(StdInt)
d Column...
d Like(StdInt)
d NextState...
d Like(StdInt)
d Error...
d Like(StdChr)
d ActionCode...
d 50

But this will compile.

d dsStateMap...
d ds Qualified
d Occurs(32765)
d Based(ptrStateTable)
d State...
d Like(StdInt)
d Column...
d Like(StdInt)
d NextState...
d Like(StdInt)
d Error...
d Like(StdChr)
d ActionCode...
d 50

As usual it doesn't say why. It just says invalid.

Here is fetch statement.

Exec Sql Fetch Next From C2
For 32765 Rows
Into :dsStateMap;

Am I getting mixed up or it this a call to IBM?
