I don’t think ‘If Array = *blanks’ will work – the compiler is expecting an index to be referenced.

This may be a pain, but I’ve found that if I create a data structure where the array overlays a field, then I can check that field for blanks.

For instance, if my array is defined like this:

d ds
d aDS 10
d aArray 2 dim(5) inz overlay(aDS)

The array (aArray) overlays field aDS. Field aDS is the same size as the entire array. I can then use field aDS to check for blanks.
