Using Data Access -
From PowerBuilder 5 with Arrays

The MDMDA session object is being called from a PowerSoft PowerBuilder 5 application. This sample includes references to an item array (12J1).

The dataset and items are defined as follows:

ITEMS:
  ITEM-NO, Z6;
  SALES-PERIODS, 12X6;
  SALES-HISTORY, 12P12;
  MISC, 12J1;
  OTHER, J2;

SETS:
  NAME: HISTORY, DETAIL (1/18);
  ENTRY: ITEM-NO(!HISTORY-M),
    SALES-PERIODS,
    SALES-HISTORY,
    MISC,
    OTHER;
  CAPACITY: 101;
END.
