Re: RPG header spec

[Jeff Young <cooljeff913@xxxxxxxxx>]

I beleive he is looking for the data area that contains the default values for the RPG "H" spec.
From what I recall, it does not exist by default, but if you create a data area called RPGHSPEC and format it with your defaults, the compiler will bring that in.
I do not think that it works with RPG IV.

I'm afraid I didn't understand the question, so I apologise if this 
sounds dense.  What programming problem are you trying to solve?  Use a 
data area in your program (like to get the last invoice number used?) 
RPG Reference, D-specification keyword DTAARA() (there are other ways) 
Automatically have the compiler supply a Header-specification based on a 
pre-defined data area?  RPG Reference, chapter 13  Something else?
