Frankly, you're way may be simpler - and more reliable.  Sometimes after
executing the following:
     D File          E ds                  extname(iim) based(pFile)
     D NewDS           ds
     D  FileName                     10a
     D  FileData                           like(File)
      /free
       pFile=%addr(FileData);
      /end-free

     C/exec sql
     C+ Select 'IIM', a.*
     C+ into :newds
     C+ from iim a
     C+ where iprod='JI'
     C/end-exec
      /free
       *inlr=*on;
       return;
      /end-free

the values of the fields in File are inconsistent.  Sometimes only the
first field has a value - sometimes they all have values.  Gotta love
inconsistencies.

Hi Rob,

You're right -- that works great (and thanks for the quick example!), but
wouldn't it be simpler just to use:

D File          E ds                  extname(iim)
D  FileName       s             10a

C/exec sql
C  Select 'IIM', a.*
C  into :FileName,:File
C  from iim a
C  where iprod='JI'
C/end-exec
 /free
  *inlr=*on;
  return;
 /end-free

-- no need for pointers or 2nd ds. . . . ? (this is what Darren suggested,
and it works great, too).

Either one solves my immediate problem (thanks again!), but it looks as if
there's no way to shorten the SQL "into" clause to only one destination
name? In the example, it's really no big deal, but suppose I wanted to
SELECT A.*, B.* FROM IIM A JOIN FMA B  ON . . . and put the whole thing
into a data structure . . . .?

Just wondering . . .
