Subject: Fully freeform file information DS


Having a brain fart.

I want a fully freeform file information DS to get the number of records,
something like this:

dcl-ds dsFile;
NumRcds Int(?) Pos(156);
end-Ds;

The RPG reference has it in fixed form, like this:

D NUM_RCDS 156 159I 0

I can't define Int(4) because it says that's not a valid length for Int().

What am I missing?

Thanks.
