thank you simon and everyone else.

it is kind of odd that qxxchgda is not documented in the api reference.  But
since there are C pgms that call it, I assume that access to it cannot be
revoked in the future.

note the following in the doc of qxxchgda:
    "QXXCHGDA can only be used to change character data. "

I am going to find out myself, but if anyone knows, does the rpg in and out
have the same restriction? does rpg ile also use IN and OUT?

also, does the rpg IN and OUT handle a *ddm data area?

how does a C pgm chg a *ddm or logical data area?  does it have to call a cl
pgm that runs ChgDtaAra?

just asking,

Steve
