Re: Passing parms between two programs

I can think of a couple of ways. One would be to, instead, to send the data off in in a data queue, if its a one-way trip for the data, like entering orders or shipments.

Another way would be to define a data structure in your D-specs, with the names of the screen fields that you want to send. Then, the parm is the data structure, and is auto-populated by the exfmt. Something like this:

D PARM2SEND ds
D S1CUSTNO
D S1CUSTNAME
D S1FIELD$
D S1FIELD2
etc.

What I need to do is the following:
ProgA displays a screen for data entry, then calls ProgB passing the entered data as parms. ProgB then prints a report.
My problem is ProgA. I have the program display the entry screen. And I can call ProgB. But how do I set up the parms to pass through to ProgB?

Any help or examples would be appreciated.
Thanks,
