<h1 class="topictitle1">Example: Change and retrieve a data area</h1>
<div><p>This example shows how to change and retrieve a data area.</p>
<div class="section"> <p>The following is an example of using the <span class="cmdname">Change Data
Area (CHGDTAARA)</span> and <span class="cmdname">Retrieve Data Area (RTVDTAARA)</span> commands
for character substring operations.</p>
<p>This example: </p>
<ul><li>Creates a 10-character data area named DA1 (in library MYLIB) with initial
value <samp class="codeph">ABCD5678IJ</samp></li>
<li>Declares a 5-character variable named &amp;CLVAR1</li>
<li>Changes the contents of data area DA1 (starting at position 5 for length
4) to the value <samp class="codeph">EFG</samp> padding after the G with 1 blank)</li>
<li>Retrieves the contents of data area DA1 (starting at position 5 for length
5) into the CL variable &amp;CLVAR1</li>
</ul>
<p>To do this, the following commands would be entered: </p>
<pre>DCL VAR(&amp;CLVAR1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(5)
.
CRTDTAARA DTAARA(MYLIB/DA1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) +
VALUE('ABCD5678IJ')
.
.
.
CHGDTAARA DTAARA((MYLIB/DA1) (5 4)) VALUE('EFG')
RTVDTAARA DTAARA((MYLIB/DA1) (5 5)) RTNVAR(&amp;CLVAR1)</pre>
<p>The variable &amp;CLVAR1 now contains <samp class="codeph">'EFG I'</samp>.</p>
