Re: Passing Datastructure Array

Thanks Tommy. Compiled perfectly. Although it really doesn't seem to
intuitive (for me at least) that you would need to add the Dim(20) to the
prototype. I would think that Dim(20) changes the *structure* a bit to
give it depth, but I guess I'm asking too much.

Anybody heard anything about %lookup support for qualified ds arrays? I
saw a post that was in the archives by Scott and Barbara that was from
2008. Just wondering if there has been any movement on this?

Re: Passing Datastructure Array






it's not an array 8^) using LIKEDS only copies the *structure* of the
DS...not the number of elements add the DIM() on your prototype...

Ok, I've tried google, I've searched the archives and checked other lists.


And what seems like it should work, doesn't. So I turn to you RPGLE
wizards...

The Problem... I'm trying to pass a datastructure array to a subprocedure


to do a "%lookup" since %lookup doesn't support qualified names. The
problem is that I'm getting a compile error that says "RNF0528 Index is
not allowed for name that is not an array; index is ignored." It is
basically saying that the array in my PI isn't an array...

The Code...
D FindFSOds...
D PR 2s 0
D EntryDS LikeDS(sqlDS)
D ShopOrder...
D 6s 0
D
D sqlDS ds qualified Dim(20)
D Shop_Order...
D 6s 0
D Parent_SO...
D 6s 0

P FindFSOds...
P b
D FindFSOds...
D PI 2s 0
D EntryDS LikeDS(sqlDS)
D ShopOrder...
D 6s 0
D
D
D ArraySize...
D c Const(20)
D rtrnIdx...
D s 2s 0
D x...
D s 2s 0
/free
rtrnIdx = 0;
for x = 1 to ArraySize;
if EntryDS(x).Shop_Order = ShopOrder;
rtrnIdx = x;
leave;
endif;
endfor;

return rtrnIdx;
/end-free
P FindFSOds...
P e
******************************************************************end of
code

The compiler error points to the "if" statement and says that the EntryDS
can' have (x) because its not an array. Doesn't the like DS mean that it
is? And that it will automatically be qualified?

I'm confused. What am I missing?
