Generally speaking, MOVEA is one of those things that requires work (or an orphan C-spec, depending on your development goals).

The JCR data structure is an exact match to the fixed-format original, that's not the problem.  The problem is that you can't do MOVEA, so you have to do a straight EVAL to an array in the same position.    You've created the correct array, now let's see how you move the data.

Wait a sec!  Looking at your array, you actually created a 900-byte array!  It's 30 elements of 30 characters!

Change it to "s1con char(1) pos(1) dim(30);" and all should be well.

I give up... I've been pulling my hair out trying to convert this to free format:

D DS
D S1CON 1 30
D S1CN01 1 9
D S1CN02 10 18
D S1CN03 19 22
D S1CN04 23 26
D S1CN05 27 30
D*


Using the JCR Tools, it converted to this:


dcl-ds *n;
s1con char(30) pos(1);
s1cn01 char(9) pos(1);
s1cn02 char(9) pos(10);
s1cn03 char(4) pos(19);
s1cn04 char(4) pos(23);
s1cn05 char(4) pos(27);
end-ds;

I had to add DIM(30) to the S1CON so the program logic would work (the old code used MOVEA to move an array into S1CON)

dcl-ds *n;
s1con char(30) pos(1) dim(30);
s1cn01 char(9) pos(1);
s1cn02 char(9) pos(10);
s1cn03 char(4) pos(19);
s1cn04 char(4) pos(23);
s1cn05 char(4) pos(27);
end-ds;

No matter what I do... I get 1 character in S1CN01 and nothing more.
