WOWWWWW
Thanks Birgitta - I believe I have it
Well - I mean - there are no compile errors
OMG - that was a struggle
This is what I ended up with
I have the external file defined
dcl-f Chnlanalp usage(*output:*update) keyed prefix('CHA.');
Then it is qualified later
dcl-ds CHA Extname('CHNLANALP') qualified;
Arr Like(CHA.Camtday01) Dim(32) Pos(97);
end-ds;
Where the field Camtday01 starts in position 97 in the record
The proof of the pudding will be in the testing
Fingers (and anything else) crossed
Appreciate all the responses

Define a Data Structure, list all the file fields as subfield and overlay it with an array:
DCL-DS YourDatastructure
FileFld1;
FileFld2;
FileFld3;
...
FileFld32;
Arr Like(FileFld1) Dim(32) Pos(1);
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Hi everyone
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
