For the benefit of the archives - you would have had the same problem if calling OPM from OPM - or ILE from ILE or ...

You cannot substitute a DS for a PLIST - they are completely different animals.

You can use a PLIST in an RPG IV program, just not in /Free.

The "correct" solution would be to create a prototype to replace the PLIST and then simply string out all 25 parms on the CALL - that way the call can be done in /Free. Otherwise just go into fixed form and use a conventional CALL/PLIST arrangement.

get an MCH0801 - Argument associated with external or internal parameter not passed and multiple (looks like almost as many as individual parameters) Pointer not set for location referenced.

Basically I'm calling a prompt program which when called from another OPM program uses a PLIST containing 25 fields.
I created as datastructure to replace the PLIST
