It's a COBOL program... I must've been goofy to not include that tidbit!

  Before going too far with this, you might want to see if maybe your HLL
  has native support for data areas.  I know that RPG does.... but you
  didn't say which language the HLL program is written in.

  If you do need to use the CHGDTAARA command, I'd certainly recommend
  using QCMDEXC.  It will be slightly faster, since QCMDEXC will run your
  command at the same call-level as your program, whereas calling a CL
  program will need to make a new call level for the CL program.

  Plus, in my opinion it's MUCH easier to read your program if you use
  QCMDEXC.  You can see exactly what the program is doing, in-line, rather
  than have to deal with a separate source member, and having to figure
  out what affect library list, activation group, call level, etc will
  have on the command...   it's just MUCH simpler, and MUCH more elegant.
