Would you believe I had to (in the subprocedure) define the parm as 8A,
then move it to an
8S field before it would work?  And even then, it wouldn't until I did
just what you said, return a 2-byte value.

Unfortunately, the midrange archives are not available to look at.  I do
want to check this out when they are available.

Thanks Scott, Chris, and Doug.
