*PLACE is an RPG IV reserved word that is used to repeat data in an output record. Fields or constants that have been specified on previous specification lines can be repeated in the output record without having the field and end positions named on a new specification line. When *PLACE is coded in positions 30 through 43, all data between the first position and the highest end position previously specified for a field in that output record is repeated until the end position specified in the output record on the *PLACE specification line is reached. The end position specified on the *PLACE specification line must be at least twice the highest end position of the group of fields to be duplicated. *PLACE can be used with any type of output. Blank after (position 45), editing (positions 44, 53 through 80), data format (position 52), and relative end positions cannot be used with *PLACE.
