I have a MODS defined with Occurs(24)
The DS consists of multiple fields, the first 2 are Year (4,0) and Month (2,0)

I load the DS in my program starting with the first entry.
I can have a variable number of entries, so I store the number of entries in a 
variable.
After I have loaded all the data, I want to sort it by Year & Month.

I am attempting to use the qsort function as follows:
QSort (%Addr(Account_Recap) : Im : %Size(Account_Recap) : 
%PAddr(Compare)); 

Where Account_Recap is my MODS
           IM is the number of entries used
     
My compare routine is :
P Compare B 
D Compare PI 10I 0 
D Element1 Const Like(Account_Recap) 
D Element2 Const Like(Element1) 
D Element1_Ds DS 
D Year_1 Like(Save_Year) 
D Month_1 Like(Save_Month) 
D Element2_DS DS 
D Year_2 Like(Save_Year) 
D Month_2 Like(Save_Month) 
/free 
Element1_Ds = Element1; 
Element2_Ds = Element2; 
Select; 
When ((Year_1 * 100) + Month_1) < ((Year_2 * 100) + Month_2); 
Return -1; 
When ((Year_1 * 100) + Month_1) > ((Year_2 * 100) + Month_2); 
Return 1; 
Other; 
Return 0; 
EndSl; 
/End-Free 

The problem I am having is that the Compare routine is accessing more than just 
the number of entries defined in the IM variable.

Is this normal or am I doing something incorrect.

TIA,
