Re: Reading a file into a data set

I dont think you can do it into a two dimenisional but you could
D                    DS
D numbers01A
D numbers02A
D ...
D arrayA                                        1          120  0   Dim(24)

Do the same for B and C.

Which in essence is 3 arrays of a 24 array
There is a way of reading this file into a 2 dimensional data set
(or am I getting COBOL flashbacks?)

Any help would be much  appreciated (it would also show me that I'm not
getting senile)
