Re: Adding field to data structure

You guys are great. Will be testing more Monday.
I believe in this situation I will use Brian's for the simplicity of the
naming.
I believe Jon's would work with multiple likerec's in the ds and would help
keep things straight in a more complex situation.

Thanks much

You cannot add to the end of a LikeRec structure Jim - if you could it
wouldn?t be ?like? the record.

Not exactly sure what you are trying to do - but if you ultimately want a
DS array then maybe something like this?

D* store data from file and formatted part for each part
D vcdataArr ds Dim(99)
D vcdata likerec(inmvcross1)
D vfmtpart like(inmvpart)
D vfmtcpart like(inmvcpart)

*I believe Jon's works great. You use this notation to work with a field
in record format inmvcross1.*

*vcdataArr(x).vcdata.fieldname*

Jim, the LIKEREC keyword does not allow additional subfields to be defined
within a Data Structure. However, the EXTNAME keyword does.

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve - nor if your approach is
ideal - but the following will compile:

D* store data from file and formatted part for each part
D vcdata e ds extname(inmvfile:inmvcross1:*input)
D vfmtpart like(inmvpart)
D vfmtcpart like(inmvcpart)

D* data structure array to store a part/vmrs group for processing
D vc ds likeds(vcdata) dim(200)

Hope this helps.
