Hi,
Is it possible to use redefines like in COBOL? All suggestions are welcome.




Thanks

Yes it is possible but it is more like you would do in Easytrieve not COBOL.

Just create another field definition with overlaying byte positions.

Sorry, been out of the trade for sometime now and can't recall the exact syntax. Crying or Very sad

Itanium,

Here is a sample code to show you redefinition along with reference modification

Code:

DEFINE W-TEXT W 50 A
DEFINE W-CHAR W-TEXT 1 A OCCURS 50
DEFINE W-PART-CHAR W 10 A

JOB INPUT NULL

    W-TEXT = 'Itanium'
    MOVE W-CHAR(4) 4 TO W-PART-CHAR
    DISPLAY RESULT


W-PART-CHAR will have nium

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu
