RE: Constants (was: *varsize array as procedure parameter)




    d Search          PI             5U 0
    d  peArray                            likeds(bigDS)
    d                                     dim(32767)
    d                                     const
    d                                     options(*varsize)

[SNIP]

That would cause the compiler to create a temporary array because
ArrayToPass is a fixed length field ?
No. The temporary is only used when the variable doesn't match the prototype. In this case, your variable DOES match the prototype, so it won't use a temporary, it'll pass the address of the caller's array.
Because you placed options(*VARSIZE) on the prototype, it also doesn't have to be the same number of elements.
