Duh! Factor 1 and 2 on the parm statement, I forgot about those! And yes, LIKE() would be a better way to define them.

This should work: put your subfields into factor 1 of each parm statement. Use like defined fields for your actual parms. This will cause the contents of the passed parameter to be copied into the subfield: D PIBCST s like(P1BCST) D PIBBNB s like(P1BBNB) C *ENTRY PLIST C P1FLD1 PARM PIBCST C P1FLD2 PARM PIBBNB Notice that the actual parameter field name starts with "PI" rather than "P1"; that seems to work with your naming conventions. _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@midrange.com Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
