Ricky,

Yes, but . . .

Which means you may want to consider changing your
legacy Multiple Occurance DS to a Data Structure Array

Do a web search for "Those Weird and Wonderful Arrays",
an MC Press article by Paul Tuohy.

Also look at SORTA and $SUBARR in the ILE RPG Language
Reference 7.1

So, there is the potential problem of your current release
level because what I suggest depends on recent releases.

If you are current on release, data structure arrays, the
new Overlay data specification, and the other improvements
like BASED(basing_pointer_name) has made flexible data
sorting much easier.

I am working on a program using all of these techniques
as I type this.

Subject: Lookup on MODS

Trying to figure out is there is a way to find a specific occurance of a
MODS? I need to be able to LOOKUP the occurance where Seq = 2 for example
but it might be in Occurance 3. The only thing I can think of is to read through the MODS and create another array field with the Seq number with the Index being the Occurance. Is there a better way?

d DetailDS ds Occurs(52)

d Seq Like(SEQ# )

d FromDate Like(FROMDT )

d ToDate Like(TODT )
