DIM limitations

[dcutaia]

When I am trying to load an array with 65535 elements I get this message when I am setting up my DIM. Is it safe to say that the limit for DIM = 32767. Is there anyway around it , other then loading multiple arrays.

Thanks,

DAC

Message . . . . : A parameter for keyword DIM is not valid; defaults to 1.
Cause . . . . . : A parameter for keyword DIM must be a numeric literal with
a value between 1 and 32767 or a constant name representing a valid numeric
literal.
Recovery . . . : Specify valid values as parameters for the DIM keyword.
Compile again.

If it is that large, I would use a work file, referenced by record number.

User space can be up to 64 MB, that could maybe fit your needs

Hi dcutaia:

Have a look at this article.

http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/i5/july06/enewsletterexclusive/14572p1.aspx

Page 4 suggests using pointers combined with "the C function bsearch" to replace the array and %lookup functions.

Hope that helps

Re: DIM limitations

another simple method is to make your array occuring.
