 BS> Hi,
 BS> I've got a question about placing data in a structure array.
 BS> In TASM and MASM one can define a structure (i.e. Fields),
 BS> One can also define an array (i.e. Array) consisting of
 BS> let's say 10 Fields structures.
 BS> Each element in the array is such a structure (see code below).
 BS> Now I want to fill all the elements within the array with data.
 BS> The code below does it for the first element of the array.
 BS> But how do I fill the second, third....tenth element?
 BS> In this example the size of the structure is known, and
 BS> we could work with offsets and such, but
 BS> let us assume we don't know the size of the structure upfront...
 BS> I read several Assembly books, but found no answer there
 BS> Only the Microsoft Macro Assembler Bible told me how to set up
 BS> a structure array, but not how to fill it with data.
 BS> Can someone tell me how that is accomplished?
 BS> Thank you for your attention.
 BS> Bo.
 BS> ps, the code below compiles and runs ok using Turbo Assembler.
