Unless I am mistaken CTDATA has to be defined globally meaning defining
static storage. An INZARRAY or
defining like I did means it is defined locally. Also didn't I read you
cannot reference CTDATA in a subprocedure?

Kurt's example is actually identical to Jon's in the way it works. But
I agree that Jon's code was much more elegant. I don't know why Kurt
created the extra field, or why he overlaid it by hand.

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

InzArray('*PGM':'*SRVPGM':'*CMD':'*FILE')

Ick.

What is your objection to the way Jon did it? Or if you don't like
using a data structure, what is your objection to using CTDATA? I sure
like CTDATA a lot better than the InzArray().
