Re: Passing Arrays between RPG programs

You pass arrays just like you would pass anything else.  If it's a CALL or
CALLB, put the array name on the parm statement.  If it's a CALLP, be sure
to use the DIM in the prototype.

Like anything else you pass, make sure that the definitions match between
the caller and the callee.
