Jon, the address of a parameter isn't a constant value, so you can't
use it for initialization.  You'll have to use C specs to assign the
basing pointers.

Otherwise, what you're doing is fine.

Whenever you don't understand an error message, try compiling with
OPTION(*SECLVL) (it's available for all the CRT commands that produce
a listing).  It gives the full text of the error message in the
message summary section at the bottom of the listing.

Here's RNF7306:

The initial value for a pointer field is not valid.
  Cause . . . . . :   A basing-pointer field in static
    storage cannot be initialized with a non-constant
    address.  Fields with a non-constant address are:
    - entry parameters (a parameter in the *ENTRY PLIST, or a
      parameter in the procedure-interface definition)
    - fields in automatic storage
    The initial value for the field is ignored.
  Recovery  . . . :   Change the initial value of the basing
    pointer. Compile again.
  Technical description . . . . . . . . :   All fields
    defined in the main procedure are in static storage.
    Fields in subprocedures are in automatic storage unless
    the STATIC keyword is used on the definition of the field.
