RE: DCL array variable in CL

Overlay the array with a character field, and pass the field.  Or do away
with the CL program, and do your OVRPRTF inside your RPG program, then you
can pass the array as is.  You might even be able to pass a pointer to the
array, I THINK the CL program will accept it as a 16 char field.  It just
can't do anything with it.  (Note the caveat here, not having actually tried
to pass a pointer thru a CL program, I can't promise it will work at all
:-)  )
