Re: Overlaying fields within a data structure with an array

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?

How about something like:

D DS
D ORDERNBR 1 5S 0
D ITEMNBR 6 10S 0
D PRICE 11 15S 2
D ALLOWANCE1 16 20S 2
D ALLOWANCE2 21 25S 2
D ALLOWANCE3 26 30S 2
D ALLOWANCE4 31 35S 2
D ALLOWANCE5 36 40S 2
D ALLOWANCEA 16 40S 2 DIM(5)
C Z-ADD 123.45 ALLOWANCEA(2)
C ALLOWANCE2 DSPLY
