Hi,
I need to know the value of the index which I have used to define in the table.
The table defination is
01 PAYMENT-TABLE.
05 PAYMENT-ENTRY OCCURS 999 TIMES
INDEXED BY
PAYT-NDX.

To knoe the value of index I am moving it in dummy variable like this.
MOVE PAYT-NDX TO WS-DUMMY.

For this I am getting the following compilation error:
"PAYT-NDX" was defined as a type that was invalid in this context.

Let me know how I can check the value in the index.

Hello,

To "move" an array index, use SET instead of MOVE.

What was the trick? Redefine a usage is index with a pic s9(9) comp or just set to the pic s9(9) comp?

Hello,

My guess is that the index in question is not defined as a field.

Usng the SET to a 9(9) COMP field should work as needed. . . . Haven't actually done it today, but seem to reacll doing it before
