hi,

i have something like this :

MyDSArray DS DIM (100) QUALIFIED
Text 100
Name 30

Either text or Name may be blank for each element.

I have to know if at least one name is non blank.

If so, I have to get the list of all unique values for Name.

Is there any other way than just reading through the whole array?

Thanks
