Hi I am new to PL/1, and facing the following error. Could anyone please explain me, how to deal with this:

IBM1661I S 117.0 Aggregates cannot be assigned to scalars.

Explanation: Only scalars can be assigned to scalars.

Errored line – WS_BYTES_ARRAY(J) = BTS_PASS_BYTES;

Declaration -

1) DCL 1 WS_ARRAY_OF_BYTES,

2 WS_ARRAY_BYTES,

3 WS_BYTES_ARRAY CHAR(8) DIMENSION(8);

2) DCL 1 BTS_PASS_BYTES(8) CHAR(1);

reread the manual ( links at top of the page )
... and do not try to assign an aggregate to a scalar

Hello,

What is not clear?

You cannot assign an aggregate to a scalar. . .

Did you read the manual to learn about aggregates and scalars? If not, do so now.

If there is something in the manual that is not clear, post what you found that is not clear and someone will be able to clarify.
