The other suggestions, omitting the data types I had tried and failed in
the compiler. This was one I had not tried yet, but sadly, it also fails.
Pgm char(10) pos(*PROC);

RNF0202: THE PARAMETER FOR KEYWORD POS MUST BE A NUMERIC CONSTANT BETWEEN 1
AND 16773104

Hi, Darren:

Perhaps try something like:

Pgm char(10) pos(*PROC);

Let us know if that works ...

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

When I'm converting my program status data structure from fixed format to
free form, I expect this to work, but it doesn't. Is there a syntax
issue,
or do I just have to specify the position for these keywords?

dcl-ds PSDS;
Pgm char(10) *PROC;
RNF3308: Keyword name is not valid; the keyword is ignored.
WSID char(10) pos(244);
User char(10) pos(254);
end-ds;



Work-around is:

dcl-ds PSDS;
Pgm char(10) pos(1);
WSID char(10) pos(244);
User char(10) pos(254);
end-ds;
