RPG Datastructure to associative array

Alexk2012 — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 09:01:06 +0000

Is there in RPG an API or function available that makes it possible to copy field data from an RPG-data structure into array elements (transformed in to characters).

In php or other language you can use assosiative arrays.
For data exchanges something similar would be help full.

I imagine me a similar solution with to arrays: One array that stores the element names and one array that stores the (to text) converted field values.

Something like that:

%copyDS2array(&dsname:&ArrayElements:&ArrayValues)

Otherwise I had to solve it with an external data structure field map…
