But that requires defining a length for ObjectTypes and overlays for each

Kurt's example is actually identical to Jon's in the way it works. But I agree that Jon's code was much more elegant. I don't know why Kurt created the extra field, or why he overlaid it by hand.

Would be nice if IBM would just give use an INZARRAY keyword.

InzArray('*PGM':'*SRVPGM':'*CMD':'*FILE')

Ick.

What is your objection to the way Jon did it? Or if you don't like using a data structure, what is your objection to using CTDATA? I sure like CTDATA a lot better than the InzArray().
