Re: Free form defined Java procedure

LIKE ignores DIM...

From the manual...
When the LIKE keyword is specified, the item being defined takes on the
length and the data format of
the item specified as the parameter.

When LIKE is used to define an array, the DIM keyword is still required to
define the array dimensions.
However, DIM(%elem(array)) can be used to define an array exactly like
another array.
