Re: Array assignment to a qualified array

 For some reason the syntax to assign a regular array to a qualified array is eluding me.

     D ACD             ds                  Dim( 25 ) Qualified
     D  CodesSeq Like( SA.CODESSEQ ) Inz
     D  Codes                              Like( SA.CODES )

     D  Codes          s                   Like( SA.CODES )
     D                                     Dim( 25 )

 I would like to take Codes array and assign it ACD.Codes.

 The compiler doesn't like any of these:
ACD.Codes = Codes ;
ACD(*).Codes = Codes ;
ACD(*).Codes(*) = Codes ;
ACD.Codes(*) = Codes ;

Unfortunately, RPG doesn't have any syntax for that.

RPG does support treating a DS-array-subfield as an array in a few places:
SORTA ACD(*).codes;
p = %lookup('x' : ACD(*).codes);

But the DS(*).SUBF syntax is not supported in general where an array is expected.
