I don't see the need to complicate things with pointers, a quick test
shows that this seems to give the desired result:

D PositionsDS DS
D 28A Overlay(PositionsDS)
D Inz('+
D ffooter+
D Ffooter+
D hheader+
D Hheader')
D Array Overlay(PositionsDS) Dim(4)
D Position 1A Overlay(Array)
D PosValue 6A Overlay(Array:*Next)

Actually, a neater (V5R3-compatible!) version might be this:

D Positions Like(PositionsDS)
D Inz('+
D ffooter+
D Ffooter+
D hheader+
D Hheader')
D PositionsPtr * Inz(%addr(Positions)
D PositionsDS DS Based(PositionsPtr)
D Array Dim(4)
D Position 1A Overlay(Array)
D PosValue 6A Overlay(Array:*Next)

Craig,

Would this work?

D Positions Like(PositionsDS)
D Inz('+
D fFhH+
D footerfooterheaderheader')
D PositionsPtr * Inz(%addr(Positions)
D PositionsDS DS Based(PositionsPtr)
D Position 1A Dim(4)
D PosValue 6A Dim(4)

I've used this format in many programs.

D ItemTypes DS
D 7A INZ('CCredit')
D 7A INZ('DDebit ')
D ItemType 7A OVERLAY(ItemTypes) DIM(2)
D ItemTypeKey 1A OVERLAY(ItemType)
D ItemTypeDsc 6A OVERLAY(ItemType:*next)

I find it easier to interpret the data structure when each entry in

the

array has one INZ entry.
Since my data is related, this setup allows simple lookups.

VIDX = %LOOKUP(S0CITYPE:ItemTypeKey);
IF VIDX > 0;
S0CITYPED = ItemTypeDsc(vIdx);
ENDIF;

I posted an example of what I am trying to do (define two
corresponding
arrays with initialization values) at

[1]http://code.midrange.com/c7ffa28dce.html

Is the code shown in the example the simplest/best way to define

and

initialize the arrays? If not, what is a better alternative (in
D-specs).

Thanks
Craig Pelkie
