RE: ARGH!!! Pointers

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Remember the occurrence index does not get sent along with the returned
value, so you'd have to set it again in the caller.
Another solution might be to use the EXPORT keyword on the MODS in the
*SRVPGM and then simply IMPORT it in the calling program. Then you don't
need to screw with the point crap.
