The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

To reaffirm Raul's advice, you could have tweaked your program slightly
to READ into a Data Structure as follows:
. . .
D SLSMONTHSDS DS LIKEREC(SLSMONTHR)
. . .
C READ SLSMONTHS SLSMONTHSDS
- then you would have been able to track all of the data in debug. Just
a thought for the future.
Actually, if Raul hadn't pointed out that scatter-gather doesn't fill
fields that aren't referenced, I'd have done exactly what you suggested,
since I knew scatter-gather wasn't working, and just didn't remember why.
Again, thank you to all who responded. It still took me an hour longer
than expected to figure out how to best use the data from the lookup
file for what the customer wanted, but at least I was no longer on the
verge of screaming obscenities within earshot of the neighbors. And it
turns out that my test program was useful in forcing the "border cases"
under controlled conditions, to work out the logic.
