RE: also a senior moment - compile time array

["Phil Kestenbaum" <pkestenbaum@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's a program that is maintained. I also wouldn't do it this way.
Definetly was not showing on the printed output so I ran debug on it and
was showing as blank. Yet another array in that group was visible.

All true for RPG IV but then he wouldn't have an E-spec defining the  
array ...

The original problem is unclear. He says he defined a compile-time  
array and has data top populate it but "it won't print. I debugged it  
and it shows blanks". WHAT shows blanks? The array? I doubt it.

Likely cause is a code defect in the print routine.
