Thanks, Scott. I was doing it from memory..:) Good it was cleared up,
though.

I guess I have no problems using pointers and was just trying to see what
was different as the issue that was happening was odd. I couldn't recreate
the problem on my end, so I didn't know where else to go with suggestions.
The Java exception threw me for a loop too making me think there's more to
it than expected.

Brad,

I would not recommend this prototype unless for some reason it makes
sense to use pointers. Forcing the use of a pointer and %ADDR() for a
regular RPG variable seems to only make the code more complicated.

If you do choose to take this route -- there is a bug in your
prototype. You need to have VALUE on the pointer. So that 2nd line
should be:

dtaVar pointer value;

Without "value", it'll pass the pointer by reference (i.e. a pointer to
a pointer) which isn't right, here.
