You can't use %lookup() on a data structure. If I need to use a data
structure with look up capabilities I usually create an array element
and overlay the element.

Example:
d c$              ds                  qualified inz
d array                               dim(9999)
d  cpyVers                            like(VERSION) overlay(array)
d  cpyFile                            like(FILE) overlay(array : *next)

Then you can do something like this.
i = %lookup(lookVers : c$.cpyVers);
if (i > 0);
 foundVers = c$.cpyVers(i);
endif;

Something like that should work.

Hey all,

I'm trying to use a data structure to lookup a dimmed datastructure
array, as follows:

d l$              ds
d  lookVers                           like(VERSION)
d  lookFile                           like(FILE)

d c$              ds                  qualified dim(9999) inz
d  cpyVers                            like(VERSION)
d  cpyFile                            like(FILE)

If %lookup(l$:c$) > 0;

RNF0571 20      1 The second parameter for %LOOKUPxx is not valid.

I also tried:

D l$              ds
D  lookVers                           like(VERSION)
D  lookFile                           like(FILE)

D c$              ds                  likeds(l$) dim(9999) inz

same error.   what good is dimming a data structure if you cant do a
lookup on it?

Thanks!
