Hi Ben: Not sure if you're still looking...Here's my example. I had an array of 512 size blocks that I wanted to display 6 bytes from offset +8 in each block (a volser). I positioned IPCS at the first block and tried this:
ipcs runarray address(+0) length(512) entries(1:10) exec((list X+8 length(6))) This did not work. It listed the first control block repeatedly, similar to what you experienced I think. On advice from IBM, I changed the command to this: ipcs runarray address(+8) length(512) entries(1:10) exec((list X length(6))) This worked -- setting the displacement value, +8, in the address field, instead of trying to add to X. I didn't really get an explanation from IBM; just "working as designed". However, I suspect that inside the EXEC, LIST X+n is treated different than LIST X; i.e. X only needs to be evaluated once for X+n, whereas X by itself, List knows to use the new position as determined by the origin start (the offset value, +8), the entry number, and entry length (512).
