Hi Jerry,
The end of the ds should be:
SlOthCtr28 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr Like(SlOthCtr01) dim(28) Overlay(Containers);
End-Ds;
In de program you can then use: SlOthCtr(I)

Onderwerp: File Fields In Array
Hi All,
I know this is a simple question but is escaping me at the moment.
I have a file that contains fields SLOTHCTR1 - SLOTHCTR28, each 40 char.
I want to have these loaded into an array because I need to change some, print label, change again, print and so on.
Changing by index would be immensely less coding then changing the field directly.
This is basically what I what it to look like.
Dcl-DS *n;
Containers Dim(28);
SlOthCtr1 Char(40) Overlay(Containers);
SlOthCtr2 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr3 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr4 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr5 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr6 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr7 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr8 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr9 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr10 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr11 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr12 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr13 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr14 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr15 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr16 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr17 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr18 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr19 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr20 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr21 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr22 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr23 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr24 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr25 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr26 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr27 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
SlOthCtr28 Char(40) Overlay(Containers : *Next);
End-Ds;
That way I can change the fields by changing the Containers(x);
What should this look like?
