...

How will that cause the ArrCTTA array to contain the contents of CTTA01
through CTTA10? Isn't the overlay keyword necessary?

Betreff: overlaying arrays in v5r1

I'm drawing a blank on how to define an array over several fields in a
file record.

The file has several fields defined as...

CTTA01 Decimal 17 4
CTTA02 Decimal 17 4
CTTA03 Decimal 17 4
etc..

I THOUGHT I could just define the file on an external DS definition,
as follows...
D FileDS E DS extname(FileName)

Then, just add the array definitions using the overlay keyword, as
follows...
D CTTA overlay(CTTA01) dim(10)
like(CTTA01)


Remembering that this is on a v5r1 system, the compiler rejects it,
saying, RNF7303 Subfield defined with keyword OVERLAY is too big;
specification ignored.

How are ten elements of packed 17/4 too big for a subfield?

How must I specify this?
