Subject: RE: Should be data structure as Parm to procedure


Should have mentioned that the work around in the more primitive releases of
the OS that some of us are working with is to give the data structure in the
procedure a different name, assign it the value of the parm, and then assign
the data structure back to the parm when you're done.  I don't like it
either.  <g>
