[COBOL400-L] RE: I'm stumped - working storage tables indexed by

[rick.baird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks Terry,

to move the saved index back to the original, do I move or set?

Rick,

You can just define it like this:

 05  GROUP-ITEM-LOC USAGE IS INDEX.

You can now target a field defined this way in your set statement.

what type and size is an table index field?

to save an index field, how what type and size of field should the result
of a 'SET' verb be?

can you directly compare the index field to the save field? - IF
INDEX-FIELD = SAVE-INDEX-FIELD

I'm having a problem with a program that's worked forever, until now - my
index field is getting hammered, making a move to a table element that
isn't in the bounds of the field.

Thanks,

Rick
