Thanks Birgitta that worked (there are actually 10 contiguous fields, i
only indicated 3 in the post for brevity)

ARR OF LABELNAME(6) = ' '
ARR OF LABELNAME(7) = ' '
ARR OF LABELNAME(8) = ' '

Hi,

You may try the following:

dcl-ds LabelName ;
XRLA01 ;
XRLA02 ;
XRLA03 ;
Arr Like(XRLA01) Dim(3) Pos(1);
end-ds;

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
