'E DS' in sub-procedure

Hi All,
I'm trying to find an explanation for this problem
that I have.

- A main program opens a file (FILE_A) as UPDATE
(allow ADDITION).
- A sub-procedure within the main program will define
a DS based on FILE_A, assign some values and WRITE to
FILE_A
- The result is A BLANK Record written to FILE_A
- If I move the 'E DS' definition of FILE_A out to the
main program, it worked.

Can somebody help me explain this. Does it have to do
with LOCAL variables declared in the sub-procedure?

Thank You in advance!
