The one thing this one can't do easily Joe is to create an array from non-contiguous fields - that you'll still have to use the DS/Overlay approach for.


If they were all the same distance apart, you could define a data structure array with all the repeated fields.

dcl-ds ds;
x char(5);
a1 packed(3);
b1 char(5);
a2 packed(5);
b2 char(5);
a3 char(5);
b3 char(5);
dcl-ds a_b_array dim(3) samepos(a1);
a like(a1);
b like(b1);
end-ds;
end-ds;
