RE: Array ? going from RPG to ILE
Hope you got my earlier reply OK.
Just as a follow up - why have the alternating array at all? Since all the
moth entries are in strict sequence, with a base number of 1, why not just
use the month number as the array subscript?
Something like this is what I normally use (I have an aversion to compile
time arrays).
D DayData DS
D 9 Inz('Monday')
D 9 Inz('Tuesday')
D 9 Inz('Wednesday')
D 9 Inz('Thursday')
D 9 Inz('Friday')
D 9 Inz('Saturday')
D 9 Inz('Sunday')
D DayArray 9 Dim(7) Overlay(DayData)
Reference to the elements is simply Eval DayName = DayAyrray(DayNumber).
Translate "Day" to "Month" etc. and this scenario would work for you.
Frankly I don't use Tables at all - they are only part of RPG IV for
compatibility purposes - a legacy from the days when the language couldn't
support subscripts.

Hi I saw your class at Common in Indianapolis and it
was great but I'm having a senior moment and am new to ILE
the first example is in my ILE program and I get an error on the TABNBR
entries at the bottom of the program *RNF0258 30 6 Form-Type entry is
not valid for subprocedures, or is out of
sequence.
I was wondering if I need to do something in D specs instead of items at
the bottom of the program to get the same effect
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer
