Re: Loading an array from multiple fields in a record

That would be the offset to the start of the first amount field.

BTW, as Charles pointed out, it would be better to define the array fields
using the LIKE keyword.

Is StartOfAmts the field name, or an offset value?

Jim,

I didn't see this mentioned so I'll throw it out.

D InputFileDS ds ExtName(InputFile)
D AmtArray 7p 2 Dim(24) Overlay(InputFileDS
:StartOfAmts)

Read InputFile InputFileDS
Or
Chain Key InputFile InputFileDS

This will cause your input record to be read straight into the DS and
populate the array at the same time.

HTH,
