Re: define ascending array with data structure, subfields

I have a 2d array, which contains a search key and option id:

foundElem = %lookupGE('A':SearchArr(*).$SearchStrg);

and the compiler tells me "$SearchStrg is not an array"


It's actually telling you that $SearchStrg is not a _sequenced_ array.

As Jon said, RPG doesn't have any syntax to say that the subfields
of a data structure array will be ascending or descending. I thought I recalled someone opening an RFE to support that, but I don't see it.
