Rory and Adam,
Thanks a lot. May I say how I enjoy reading your posts on this list.
So it's impossible to read in a data area and then release it without writing to it?

Simon,
Thanks fur nuttin'. Your reply just clutters the list and adds useless entries to the archives. Although I enjoy your contributions also. Spices up things a bit. But are you really that grumpy?

David,

Adam put it more simply than I did :-)

Basically, if you're going to be accessing the same data area in more than one program in a row, it's probably better not to define it as a UDS, but simply as a DS data area which you implicitly IN and OUT.

In your code, this would work if you simply remove the 'U' from 'UDS' in your test program.
