RE: [EXTERNAL] RE: File having an array using new free form

OK, just so we're clear... and at the risk of sounding like Captain
Obvious
... Using this example:

dcl-ds MyRecord extname('MyFile') qualified end-ds;

dcl-s MyAryPtr pointer inz(%addr(MyRecord.Field1));
dcl-s MyArray like(MyRecord.Field1) dim(32) based(MyAryPtr);

Just make sure you're reading the data into your version of the
MyRecord data structure shown above -- whether you're using SQL or
RLA. The free-form RLA example is as follows:

read(e) MyFile MyRecord;


By the way... That all assumes a single record-format file. The
"extname" keyword has additional parameters for handling multiple record
formats as separate data structures.
