Re: Problem using tlookup bif

Dennis,

David is using %TLOOKUP (exact match). As I see it (and, of course, I may be
wrong), the manual's comments refer to both types of op codes (%TLOOKUP and
%TLOOKUPxx).

Anyway it looks like these things don't apply to you since you are using
TAB* names (which means tables, not arrays), and not using the %TLOOKUPxx
BIFs. I don't see anything wrong, so I wonder if the entry is actually in
the table?

Thanks, but I don't remember ever coding ASCEND. Surely that is
implicit?

As per my (V5R3) ILE RPG ref. manual:

"Note: Unlike the LOOKUP operation code, %TLOOKUP applies
only to tables. To look up a value in an array, use the
%LOOKUP built-in function.

The %TLOOKUPxx builtin functions use a binary search for
sequenced tables (tables that have the ASCEND or DESCEND
keyword specified)."

Hi all.

I rarely use this bif, and it shows!


In an old converted RPGIII, I have :

D TABERA S 4 DIM(99) CTDATA PERRCD(1)
D TABERF S 76 DIM(99) ALT(TABERA)

** TABERA / TABERF (code retour / libellé erreur).
0001Text table taberf
0002etc, etc

An operation is already coded so :
C '0001' LOOKUP TABERA TABERF

10

I'm adding a procedure, in which I've written :

IF %TLOOKUP ( '0001' : TABERA : TABERF );
// Do mystuff
ENDIF;

MyStuff isn't being done :-(
What's wrong?
