I'm at my wits end...

I am trying to compare two address data structures to see if they are different. BOTH are defined "like" a template ds, however one is dimensional (3).

Can anyone point out what I may be missing??

TIA
Greg

Code:

dcl-ds upsAddr_t qualified template;
name varchar(40);
street varchar(50);
street2 varchar(50);
street3 varchar(50);
city varchar(30);
state varchar(30);
zipcode varchar(10);
cntry varchar(2);
end-ds;

dcl-ds ups likeds(upsAddr_t) inz;
dcl-ds upsSugg likeds(upsAddr_t) dim(3) inz;


if ups.name <> upsSugg(x).name;
diff = *on;
endif;
if ups.street <> upsSugg(x).street;
diff = *on;
endif;
if ups.street2 <> upsSugg(x).street2;
diff = *on;
endif;
if ups.street3 <> upsSugg(x).street3;
diff = *on;
endif;
if ups.city <> upsSugg(x).city;
diff = *on;
endif;
if ups.state <> upsSugg(x).state;
diff = *on;
endif;
if ups.zipcode <> upsSugg(x).zipcode;
diff = *on;
endif;
if ups.cntry <> upsSugg(x).cntry;
diff = *on;
endif;

// In Debug... diff is still *OFF at this point

// In this expression.. DIFF turns ON
if ups <> upsSugg(x);
diff = *on;
endif;
