If you're on V4R4, try this:
----------------------------
H nomain
D uname           pr            10a

P uname           b                   export
D uname           pi            10a
D username        s             10a   inz(*user)
C                   return    username
P uname           e
----------------------------

If you're not yet on V4R4, you can still use a program-status
data structure, but declared outside the subprocedure:
----------------------------
H nomain
D psds           sds
D   username            254    263a
D uname           pr            10a

P uname           b                   export
D uname           pi            10a
D                 ds
C                   return    username
P uname           e
----------------------------
