Re: Compilation Error on CLEAR

The *ALL option is only applicable for Multiple Occurrence Data Structures. If it was ever accepted against a regular (i.e. non-Occurs) DS then I suspect that is/was a compiler bug.

It is needed for those because only the current occurrence is normally accessible at any given time - why is why they are such a PITA as parameters! *ALL says to operate on all occurrences no matter what the current one is.

CLEAR against a DS or DS array will always clear all levels because all levels are always in scope.

I ran a test in debug, and it looks like "Clear XrefMCH(XC).MCHWnd; " will
do want I am looking for, which is to clear all the elements of MCHWnd in
the XRefMCH(XC) occurence.

That's funny. I actually have Clear *ALL XRefMCH as a fixed format
statement, which does not give error. When I put it in free-form, it gives
me an error.

@Dave: I have Clear *ALL XREFMCH at another place in the same program,
and
it compiles fine.

Just telling you what the documentation says. ;-) Besides, both
these give me an error:

Clear *ALL XRefMCH;
Clear *ALL XRefMCH(XC).MCHWnd;

And these do not:

Clear XRefMCH;
Clear XRefMCH(XC).MCHWnd;

I am getting a compilation error on the following. Not sure what
needs
to
be corrected. here is the relevant code:

D MCH_TEM DS QUALIFIED TEMPLATE
D MCHEffDate 8S 0
D MCHThruDate 8S 0
D MChoice 1

D XRefMCH DS QUALIFIED DIM(999)
D ClientPlan 19
D MCHWnd LIKEDS(MCH_TEM)
DIM(99)


1709.00 Clear *ALL XRefMCH(XC).MCHWnd ;

*RNF5393 20 170900 Factor 2 of a CLEAR or RESET operation is not
valid.

If I remove *ALL, it compiles. Any help is greatly appreciated.


*ALL is not valid for arrays nor for array data structures
(DIM
keyword). *ALL is for tables or for multiple-occurrence data
structures
(OCCURS keyword),


Sincerely,

Dave Clark
