You get that error when your input and output fields don't match each other,
and/or you try to use the *INPUT DS with an output operation, et cetera.

If you are at 6.1 or greater, eval-cor may provide your easiest solution, if
not the most favorable.

Tried that, Stu, it doesn't work; the compiler coughs:

"*RNF7701 20 1 The data structure is not allowed for the
operation."




Thank you

Dang, just re-looked at your source.

When you read the subfile, you are reading it directly to the mods
structure
(see Chain).

When you write it, you ought to do the same thing, as in:

write R010D02 ds_det;

The issue arises from using likerec(). That keyword always qualifies

subfield names, that's why it's not "automagical". Screen field

not the same as ds_det.FIELD1.

I'd think the easiest for you to do is hand-code a DS with the screen
field
names (do NOT use likerec for this), then repeatedly move the "input"
data
structure (whatever you end up using, mods or array data structure)
to the
structure with the screen fields in it.

screenStructure = ds_det;

or

screenStructure = ds_det( index );

Or something like that. Perhaps someone has a slicker method, but
this'll
work. I can't remember if you could "prefix" the screen field names
with
"ds_det." and make them match. Not near a compiler.

Birgitta, I can do that but does this solve my problem? Because, at
first
sight, the only difference is I will use an array index instead
of %occur
BIF to retrieve the DS values; under the covers, is it not the same
idea
like MODS?


Thank you

Why do you want to use a MODS, why not defining an Array Data
Structure?

Try creating another subfile and read from one and write to another
and
then
back to the original with the records inserted on one of the passes.

Subject: MODS Likerec

Hello everyone,



Before posting this question I hesitated a lot, because I know it is
something basic for most of you; unfortunatelly I couldn't find the
answer myself, so please help!



This is the idea: I have a subfile populated by the user. I want to
insert some records between already existed records if some criteria
is
met. My idea was to read the entire subfile and to save it to a MODS
defined with LIKEREC(the subfile record name), clear the subfile and
repopulated it one by one record (reading MODS) and inserting, when
needed, the new subfile records.



My problem is I cannot retrieve the MODS. I do an %OCCUR(mods-name)
= 1
and a WRITE the subfile record. In this moment, I thought the
subfile is
automagically populated because they have the same field names...
but
it's not!





Thank you





Florin Todor
