You've gotta have the DIM keyword on the prototype. LikeDS retrieves the
structure of the DS but not the DIM keyword.

Passing Datastructure Array
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?
Thanks
