Re: Input Array Problem under AIX 3

I'm guessing the AIX version is firing the sequence of control blocks in a slightly different order (i.e.: a bug). You might try changing the BEFORE ROW control block to a BEFORE FIELD data one and see if the problem goes away. A NEXT FIELD data statement placed as show below might be a workaround. : CODE SNIPPIT: : -------------------------------------------------------------------------- : INPUT ARRAY pa_slots WITHOUT DEFAULTS FROM sr_slots.* : BEFORE ROW : LET p_curr = scr_line() : # : # If this is not the first line, default the data from one element to the next : # : IF p_curr != 1 THEN : IF LENGTH(pa_slots[p_curr].data) != 0 THEN : LET pa_slots[p_curr].data = : pa_slots[p_curr-1].data : DISPLAY pa_slots[p_curr].data TO sr_slots[p_curr].data >>>>>> NEXT FIELD data : END IF : END IF : END INPUT ======================================================================= Dennis J.
