Re: Overlaying fields within a data structure with an array

If you can guarantee that no one will ever change the file that will
make them become non contiguous:

D allowances s dim(5) based(allowances_p)
D like(allowance1)
D allowances_p s * inz(%addr(allowance1))

Sorry -

I did not correctly define my problem.

FileX has more than just allowance amount fields, but within it there
are 5
contiguous fields containing the allowance amount. Because of this, I
can't
define the allowance array to override the entire FileX record...

For example, FileX has the following fields:

OrderNbr
ItemNbr
Price
Allowance1
Allowance2
Allowance3
Allowance4
Allowance5

Now how do I do it?

dsfileX ds likerec( Irecx : *Output )
D FieldArray Like( PackedField )
D Dim( 5 ) Overlay( SFileX )

should do the trick.
