Re: Implicit moving of data to DS subfields on chain/reade

["Ronald Nance" <RNANCE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

the only instance I know of is when the "one long field" is named 

file= Input, record = inrec, field = infield

DATADS           DS          
                             1    250  infield
                             1      50 Name
                           51     100 address
                         101     250 get the drift? 

The work is in correctly identifying the field positions for the 
data.

Hi All

When reading through a keyed file which contains one long char field
(200A), is it possible to define a DS in such a way that when a
read/chain/reade . . .  is performed on the file the DS subfields are
implicitly updated ? Currently, I simply move the field into the DS and was
wondering if there was a way to implicitly do this (call me lazy).

Regards
John.
