Would you care to explain? The feature to do so (fill a numeric array)
did already exist on fixed-format RPG. Why porting it to /FREE would
have meant any major changes?
Well, mind you, this is just me and not some official IBM position. I
suspect that the rules that govern the operation of BIF are closely tied to
the rules that limit our procedures' abilities. I am neither the designer
of the policies, nor the implementer. But to bring it back home in
different terms: I cannot think of any %BIF whose return data type varies
based upon the attributes of the "result" field (the left side of = in this
case) used in the source. In order to implement what you request, this sort
of capability would be required. That's what/all I meant.
