RE: Using %LOOKUP with an Array Data Structure in SQLRPGLE

Searching Data Structure Arrays was added in 7.1. Are you running an earlier release? Compiling to a previous release?

Subject: Using %LOOKUP with an Array Data Structure in SQLRPGLE


Today I discovered Array Data Structures and it seemed a perfect fit for the current SQLRPGLE program. Code looks great, Verifier in RDP likes everything.
Then when I get to compiling, I get the error RNF0571 The second parameter for %LOOKUPxx is not valid.
This is the line of code (in free- format)

ndx = %lookup(t1.arenty :regtaxdata(*).Entity : 1 : 50);

From all I can see under %lookup in the help text / manual, the line is defined properly and it passes the verifier.

Is there some restriction on using %lookup or data structure arrays in an SQL RPGLE program?
Or is there something else I am missing?

Data Structure Array definition is here

* define data structures (only used for definitions)
d TaxInfoCalc ds qualified
d Entity like(t1.arenty)
d EntityName like(Dentyname)
d EntityPhone like(Dentyphon)
d EntityPhnExt like(DentyExt)
d TaxAmtPd 11s 2

d RegTaxData ds likeds(taxinfoCalc)
d inz
d dim(50)


HTH,
TIA,
Thanks,
Whichever applies
