Have you tried the built-in-function %LOVAL?

Subject: SELECT with WHEN-IS clause
I am using the SELECT/WHEN-IS/OTHER/ENDSL construct.
Why is it that the compiler accepts WHEN-IS *ZERO, but it doesn't accept
WHEN-IS *LOVAL?
Using *LOVAL, I get this error message:
*RNF0203 30 5676 012500 OPERAND *LOVAL FOR WHEN-IS IS NOT VALID. IT
CANNOT BE AN ARRAY OR DATA STRUCTURE.
Which is misleading, unless the compiler somehow defines *LOVAL internally
as an array or data structure.
I also get the same error when I use WHEN-IS *HIVAL.
Thank you,
Doug
