Re: RNF error on %lookup

[Rory Hewitt <rory.hewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

data_Template isn't a DS array - it's just a DS.

Assuming these really are 'template' variables, then why are you doing a
lookup on one - surely you should be doing a lookup an a separate array DS
which is defiend as being LIKEDS(Data_Template)?
