From: <thomas@inorbit.com> . Here's the scenario: Suppose a list API named QabcListAPI returns the list into a program variable. (This differs from various list APIs that return lists into user spaces.) Q1. Should I be able to create a *USRSPC of some large size, initialize the space to a value such as X'00' at creation, retrieve a pointer to it and then pass the pointer to QabcListAPI as if it were the address of a program variable? After the API call, I could then access the list data via a based variable in multiple other programs. ===> YES (depending a little bit on how you code QabcListAPI - you can pass a variable or a pointer to a variable) Q2: If that should work at all, would security level 50 cause issues? ===>No problem with level 50 if the space is in the user domain. I just whipped up a little test program to try out the above. Works fine (I'm at V4R5, level 50).
