Alan,
It does work. The sixth element does not remain. You don't need to test the last element. You just need to test the previous entries and shift the array down if they are blank. The last element is set to blank as part of the assignment because you're assigning a smaller array to a larger array.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think that this logic would work for the following scenario
1 line A
2
3 line B
4
5 line X
6 line E
The 6th occurrence would remain , when the end result that is wanted is
1 line A
2 line B
3 line X
4 line E

How about:
For X = %Elem( Line ) - 1 downto 1;
If Line( X ) = *Blanks;
%SubArr( Line : X ) = %SubArr( Line : X + 1 );
EndIf;
EndFor;

Hi everyone
I'm having one of those days where no matter what I do, I just cannot get my head around what should be a simple problem Hopefully someone is kind enough to provide an answer I have an array
D LINE S 30 DIM(6)
Data can be in any combination of the occurrences (or none at all) I need to create logic so that data is moved down to fill in from the first, through the second, then third etc., until the only blanks are in the trailing occurrences
Hopefully I explained it correctly, here is an example
1
2 data 1
3
4
5 data here
6 f=data 2
Becomes
1 data 1
2 data here
3 f=data 2
4
5
6
NOTE - I don't want the information sorted, just moved up As always, any and all responses gratefully appreciated
