Alan,

You mean something like this?

D MTArrString     S                   Like(MTArr)
D                                     Inz('01*COMP  02*DIAG  +
D                                          04*INFO  05*INQ   +
D                                          06*COPY  08*RQS   +
D                                          10*RQS   14*NOTIFY+
D                                          15*ESCAPE16*NOTIFY+
D                                          17*ESCAPE21*REPLY +
D                                          22*REPLY 23*REPLY +
D                                          24*REPLY 25*REPLY ')
D MTArr@          S               *   Inz(%addr(MTArrString))
D MTArr           DS                  Based(MTArr@)
D MTElm                               Dim(16)
D   MTFrom                       2A   Overlay(MTElm)
D   MTTo                         7A   Overlay(MTElm:*Next)
...
MsgType = MTTo( %lookup( OLJL0100.MsgType : MTFrom ) );
