Yes - use a group filed array - not a DS array.



I?ve lost your original email so I can?t do the exact code for you but ?



dcl-ds MyDS;

Group Dim(99);

Fld1 char(4) Overlay(Group);

Fld2 char(20) Overlay(Group: *Next); end-ds;



index - %LookUp( searchText: Fld2); // This should do it.

You?ll have to translate back to fixed form for V6 but I was in a hurry so
please excuse.

Birgitta,

We are on 6.1. Is there an alternative way to do this at that level?
