Re: Data Area Problem

[Alan Shore <AlanShore@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Terri
is there another field defined as FSHDTE elsewhere within the program?

Hi,

I identified the internal field as packed:
     D FshDte          S              8P 0 INZ(0)
I thought this was the assumed data type, so I normally do not identify
it.  I am still getting the same error in RSE:
RNF5262E Factor 2 operand has data type that is not allowed for this
operation.

But if I compile it in a green screen session, I get the error:
 *RNF7064 30      1 The Factor 2 operand of IN or OUT is not a data area.


The data area is in my library list. If I do a WRKOBJ in the *libl, it
shows up as:
 FSHDTE      *DTAARA   V64BPCSPGM              Last Date Fishmouth Report

This should not be that difficult!  Here is my code:
     C     *DTAARA       DEFINE    FSHDTE        FshDte
     C     *LOCK         IN        FshDte                               93


Is there something else I need to do to identify it as a data area? I
would appreciate any help, thanks!
