Hi,

I have a table built with this:

01 TRN-UPD-TABLE.
05 MOD-UPD-TRN-RECORD OCCURS 100 TIMES INDEXED BY
MOD-UPD-TRN-INDEX.
10 TAB-MOD-UPD-TRN PIC X(4).

Now, what I would like to do is, read the contents of this table, one by one until 'spaces' is encountered..and when I am reading this, I would like to move its contents to an output line which can hold up to 5 of the items from this table (my output area designated for this is twenty bytes...)

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!

Hy Nirav721,

define an output area which is 20 bytes long (char)
when you encounter an index item which is equal 'spaces'
move TRN-UPD-TABLE to the newly defined output area,
that's all.
maybe you can solve this in any other way also...

regards,
martin9

Hi Nirav,
You can also use redefine clause for this.
Code:

01 MOD-UPD.                                                   
   02 TRN-UPD-TABLE.                                         
      05 MOD-UPD-TRN-RECORD OCCURS 100 TIMES INDEXED BY       
             MOD-UPD-TRN-INDEX.                               
       10 TAB-MOD-UPD-TRN PIC X(4).                           
   02 REDEF REDEFINES TRN-UPD-TABLE PIC X(20) OCCURS 20 TIMES.

Here you can use REDEF for your output icon_smile.gif
