I would like to pass the name of a Data Area into an RPGIV program so that 
I can recover the information in that data area within the program, based 
upon the data area's name in the Parm.

Something like:

   C     *ENTRY        PLIST
   C                   PARM                DANAME      10
   C     *DTAARA       DEFINE              DANAME    1024  

Now, obviously this doesn't work. 

But I'd like to be able to pass in a parm with a value of, say... 
"NamesDA", and have the program retrieve the data area named "NamesDA". Is 
this possible?
