RE: Prototyped Procedures

I think I see your point here. It may well be that the best current solution is the one you suggest. But it appears to me that this solution is a work around for the lack of data type definitions in RPG (i.e. typedef). But that is RPG's fault, not yours.

You can use LIKE and LIKEDS in pretty much the same way you'd use typedef in C. I do that all the time.

True, but unless I'm mistaken in RPG you would then have allocated space for one more variable than you actually need. I also use LIKE and just live with the fact that my "typedef" in my copy memeber occupies memory instead of simply instructing the compiler how to lay out certain data structures.
