Before I forget - we are on V7r1
I have also posted this question on the Midrange Systems Technical
Discussion side

Here is my situation - hope that it makes sense

I have defined a file where the last 32 fields on the record are all the
same size
Fields 1 through 31 represent the day of the month, with field 32 being
the total of fields 1 through 31

How can I define these fields within my program (using new free-form) so
that these 32 fields are an array
That way, I can use the day of the month to determine which occurrence I
need to deal with

Like I said - I hope my question makes sense

As always - all answers gratefully accepted

Define the record layout as usual -- a data structure based on an
external object name. Then define a stand-alone array whose address is
based on the address of the first field in your record layout that begins
the 32 multiple fields of the same length.
