Having all the pieces in front of you makes it easier to understand and debug or maintain a piece of code. Unfortunately, that’s often not the case
with compile-time arrays, since they are often separated from the code that uses them by many, many lines. Instead, data structures are often a better
option.
Noncompliant code example
D directions S 5 0 dim(4) ctdata perrcd(1)
Compliant solution
D dirData DS
D 5 Inz('North')
D 5 Inz('South')
D 5 Inz('East')
D 5 Inz('West')
D directions 5 Dim(4) Overlay(dirData)
