Re: Problem with moving Data Structures

Pessach:

I suspect that you have data in that data structure even before you execute that line of code. If you want your data structure to be initialized to zeros/blanks/etc., you need to specify the "INZ" keyword on that data structure. In fact, it is good practice to use INZ in all D-specs unless you have a good reason not to.

Remember that a field (or data structure) is just a name that's easy for us to understand. In reality it is pointing to an area of memory which may or may not contain data useful to your program. RPG does NOT initialize that area unless you tell it to do so.

Hope that helps,
