Re: Concat an entire array

But it does work if you use it on a subfield within the data structure. That was my work-around; I defined a subfield the length of the data structure at position 1 and then did my arrays overlaying that subfield.

Oh, it's really a very clunky situation: one file with multiple arrays

OVERLAY(DSNAME:*NEXT). Doesn't work in free because you can't use the
data structure name.


The reason there's no free-form syntax for OVERLAY(DSNAME:*NEXT) is that *NEXT doesn't mean "next after the previously coded subfield", it means "next after the whatever subfield has the highest to-position so far", which means the same as not coding OVERLAY at all.
