I have a message definition of:
byte-field PIC X(1) occurs 29995 depending on length-field
I am trying to move this entire field to a new message; however, the only way I can seem to access it is by byte-field[length-field]. This only returns one byte which is not acceptable if my length is 29995 bytes.
Question is, how can I get the entire field to move?
Thanks |

OK, got past that one. Sorry no one had a response to this.
It looks like the COBOL import is to blame AGAIN! It appears it put an integer field under the occurs depending on field which made it a fixed single-byte field instead of a field that can be of varying length. I have some unkind words for this thing. But, I am objective and will re-test, and re-post, all of this once I have my message working.
Anyway, after removing the integer field, I changed the field to repeat: No. And made the length depend on the length field in the message (another mistake by the importer made it repeat the single byte field instead of the length). That fixed it.
And on to the next problem...(in another post) |

There were few bugs with CSD2 COBOL importer, but most of them are fixed in later CSD releases (CSD3 and CSD4). I'd recommend that you upgrade your CSD level.
I think what WMQI importer did was correct. As per your PIC clause, your field is single byte long and it repeats maximum 29995 times depending on the length-field.
If I am not wrong, your properties should be set to following in MRM:
Repeat set to Yes.
Max Occur set to 29995.
Repeat Value Of: length-field
Now it's upto you to see how best you can model this message in WMQI, so that it's easy for you to do the transformation.
