Caleb 5 yrs! > Tim & Dana If you are passing the structure as a parm, the second and third program will not compile if you try to intialize them (*ENTRY PLIST & IDS). Yes, Use the template file in all three programs and initialize the structure in the first. ReRead my handout. & Convert to RPGIV As you might have heard, We will soon get the ability to initialize Externally defined D/S's subfields from the DDS DFT values. Life will be great. Imagine file maintenance programs where you can have default values defined in the DDS for those "FLAG" type fields('Y', 'N',etc) Write a data base record and do a RESET to the D/S name to initialize the DB record format again to it's base state !
