Re: Constant arrays

I know that the following works. I just was thinking there is a another way
to do it. Jon references this way.

d ObjectTypes...
d ds
d 10a Inz('*PGM')
d 10a Inz('*SRVPGM')
d 10a Inz('*CMD')
d 10a Inz('*FILE')
d ObjectTypeList...
d 10a Overlay(ObjectTypes)
d Dim(4)

Kurt referenced doing it as

d ds
d ObjectTypes...
d 40a
d 10a Inz('*PGM')
d Overlay(ObjectTypes)
d 10a Inz('*SRVPGM')
d Overlay(ObjectTypes:*Next)
d 10a Inz('*CMD')
d Overlay(ObjectTypes:*Next)
d 10a Inz('*FILE')
d Overlay(ObjectTypes:*Next)
d ObjectTypeList...
d 10a Overlay(ObjectTypes)
d Dim(4)

But that requires defining a length for ObjectTypes and overlays for each
element.

Would be nice if IBM would just give use an INZARRAY keyword.

d ObjectTypeList
d s 10a Dim(4)
d
InzArray('*PGM':'*SRVPGM':'*CMD':'*FILE')

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 ) );

There was a reference to an article by Jon Paris about defining constant
array instead of using using the CTDATA keyword.

I have looked but I cannot find the reference again. Anybody remember

that

reference?
