Re: infds in free form

Hi Alan,

UNS is probably a better choice as these values can never be negative.

But as long as you don't hit the 32767 limit you won't notice a difference.

Kind regards,
Paul

Thanks Paul
Wasn't too sure what to do with the binary
Then I came across INT as well as UNS
Went with UNS (don't ask me why)

Hi,

Convert it like any other DS...

Dcl-DS prtds;
filename *File;
spool# Int(5) Pos(123);
overflow Int(5) Pos(188);
currline Int(5) Pos(367);
End-DS;

Kind regards,
Paul

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3
Can anyone point me to where the infds for a print file is defined in free form?
I presently have this
d prtds ds
d filename *file
d spool# 123 124b 0
d overflow 188 189b 0
d currline 367 368b 0

but would love to convert this to free

As always all responses gratefully welcome Alan Shore E-mail : ASHORE@xxxxxxxx<mailto:ASHORE@xxxxxxxx>
