One can use a VALUE clause on an element of a table (and have since the '85 Standard). See: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IGY3LR31/5.3.18.1 (2nd paragraph) In the '02 Standard (not implemented by IBM) one can actually use the VALUE clause to initialize specific instances of elements to different values. FYI, The '02 Standard (again, not IBM) also provides a way to use the INITIALIZE statement to set Filler or non-filler fields to the data in the original VALUE clause. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
