I tried creating a message set out of a cobol copybook which has REDEFINES clause. The message set is created successfuly, but in the ESQL code i am not able to access the Redefined part.
Can we create a message set out of a copybook containing Redefines clause or not?If yes, please let me know the procedure.
Thanks in advance

Probably yes.

There's no such things as the procedure - it varies depending on exactly how the copybook is laid out. You might need to tweak the copybook, the resulting message set or both to achieve what you need.
If you search the forum, you'll find some useful discussions (noteably from kimbert) on how the parser is converting the copybook, and how to deal with this COBOL feature. _________________ Honesty is the best policy.
