*MOVE ARRAY Examples

Use *MOVE ARRAY in the following situations:

• Move an array subfield within a specified element of an array into another array subfield, either in the same array or a different array.

  In this example, the Product price subfield in the element of the Product Array, which the current value of the Order line field specifies, is set to the value held in the Item price subfield in the first element of the Item Array:

  

  This Action Diagram statement displays as:

  ARR.Product Array(WRK.Order line).Product price =
  ARR.Item Array(CON.1).Item price
  

• Move an array subfield into a field in a non-array context, for example, a field in the WRK context.

  In this example, the Product price field in the WRK context is set to the value held in the Item price subfield in the element of the Item Array specified by the current value of the Order line field:

  

  This Action Diagram statement displays as follows:

  WRK.Product price = ARR.Item Array(WRK.Order line).Item price
  

• Move a field or value (including conditions and constants) in a non-array context into an array subfield.

  In this example, the Product price subfield in the element of the Product Array specified by the current value of the Order line field is set to a value of 12.50:

  

  This Action Diagram statement displays as follows:

  ARR.Product Array(WRK.Order line).Product price = CON.12.50
