Not to fan the flames, but I don't have a problem with (global) record
formats (screen or data) being being loaded by a subprocedure.  Loading
other variables, yes, but record formats - no.  However, the advantages
of passing the DS you want loaded are worth considering going that
route.

Plus, surely this breaks the cardinal rule about loading a global
variable
(a record format data-structure) from a subprocedure. I guess you could
pass
the entire data-structure back from the subprocedure, but why go to all
that
bother?
