Re: VM/REXX question on index to an array
Thanks a lot Leland, Found that somewhere hidden in a format subroutine, the author set the numeric digits to 5 in order to get a 999V99 formatted output. Reset it to normal of 9 digits at end of the subroutine, Problem solved. I guess the author never expect to read a file with more than 9 records. Ummm Seasons greetings!!!

VM/REXX question on index to an array
Hello Lists, wish you all have a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!! May be it has been documented somewhere in a VM/REXX manual, but I am on the road. Let me see who can point clearify this in between turkey dinner and singing Christmas carols. The EXEC . snipped ... TOT = INCARD.0 SAY 'PROCESS 'TOT' LINE FROM INPUT FILE: 'IFN IFT IFM'.' J = 0 /* NUMBER OF OUTPUT DATA ROWS */ indx = 0 /* index to INCARD. */ OLD_DATE = '' /* DATE HOLDING WORKAREA */ PARTN = 'NN' /* partition ID */ DO Indx=1 BY 1 While Indx <= TOT If indx > 99980 Then do; say indx incard.indx; end; /* LOOK FOR STARTING OF A COUNTER * SET */ /* Counter values AT DATE='06-27-06' TIME='17:31:36' */ CHK = SUBSTR(INCARD.Indx,17,7) IF CHK = 'COUNTER' Then DO CHK = SUBSTR(INCARD.Indx,25,6) /* look for the next string */ IF CHK = 'VALUES' THEN . snipped ... and it went into a loop after the "Indx" is over 9: . 6 70303 F3 0003 IST878I NUMBER OF QUEUED SESSIONS = 5 22:30:02 12/23/2008 7 70304 F3 0003 IST878I NUMBER OF TOTAL SESSIONS = 125 22:30:02 12/23/2008 8 70305 F3 0003 IST924I - 22:30:02 12/23/2008 9 70306 F3 0003 IST1161I SSCP SESSIONS 22:30:02 12/23/2008 1.E+5 INCARD.1.E+5 1.E+5 INCARD.1.E+5 1.E+5 INCARD.1.E+5 1.E+5 INCARD.1.E+5 1.E+5 INCARD.1.E+5 snipped . Is there a numeric datatype of numeric has a maximum value of 9 when using it in as an index into an array? I have to break the file down into seveal files each on is smaller than 8 records. (yes, 9 will loop too.) Any help is appreciated. TIA ...Roland
