You can't call a procedure in a service program without using
prototypes.

That's not true. I discourage people from calling procs in service programs without prototypes -- but it's certainly POSSIBLE.


Where are you using *ENTRY PLIST?  There's no such thing as an *ENTRY
PLIST for a service program.

Again... I'd recommend against it, but that doesn't make it impossible.

The problem is that you can't define a BASED variable as an input parameter. It won't work with either a PI or an *ENTRY PLIST. You can pass it OUT, but you can't receive it IN. The reason should be obvious -- the whole way that parms work is by receiving a memory address and (under the covers) basing that parameter in the memory at the given address. If the variable is BASED, that means the address is controlled by a local pointer, and NOT by the parameter... so it wouldn't make any sense.
