Hi folks,
I'm trying to set up a general use utility and what I'd like to do is to
be able to call this utility, passing it an open file handle, a couple
other parameters plus one that could be used to specify a dict entry
name, not a field number. The catch is I'd like to use the dict entry
regardless of what type of definition it is. Obviously there would be
some limits but the general definition is that the dict item ultimately
points to a piece of data. An example would be I would want to use a
data position field like CUST.NUM in the INVOICE file. I'd also want to
be able to use something like CUST.NAME in the INVOICE file which would
be a pointer to the CUSTOMER file's NAME field. The utility would use
READ or maybe XLATE to obtain the desired information. I looked at
ITYPE() but I'm not sure that's going to get me what I'm looking for.
In AREV it was simply using the {} brackets.
TIA
BobW
