Oops! Just read your "non-blank" requirement as "blank". Definitively can't
multitask anymore :-(.

Robert,

My apologies for the almost telegraphic nature of my previous posts. Just
have been trying to do several things at once and I am not that good at
multitasking anymore :-)

This code should work:

------------------------------
D my_array S 80 Dim(100)
D num_entries S 3S 0
D n S 3S 0
/Free
my_array(1) = '1';
my_array(2) = '2';
my_array(3) = ' ';
my_array(4) = '4';
num_entries = 4;

n = %LOOKUP(' ':my_array: 1: num_entries) ;
IF n <> 0;
// There is a blank element on the array, in position n ...

ENDIF;
*inlr = *on;

/End-Free

------------------------------

HTH,

Of course, there is always the LOOKUP family of op codes / BIFS...

Robert,

Why don't you just sort the array and check if the first element is
blank?. On the other hand, unless the array is very big a loop gets done
quite quickly.

Greetings from the sunny south.



I need to test an array to determine if there are any non-blank
elements.
In fixed format I recall that I could test the whole array. That
seems
not to work in /Free format.



What would I need to make this concept work:



If MyArray <> *Blanks;



I don't want to spin through the numerous individual elements. Any
suggestions on how to make this happen?





Thanks,
