RE: Main Proc for Subproc not compiling

["Chevalier, Rick" <Rick.Chevalier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It looks like you have two distinct objects.  The main procedure and the
sub-procedure and are binding them together.  This makes the data file
fields in the sub-procedure available only to the sub-procedure.  They will
have to be passed back to the calling procedure.

Some examples would be:
As a parameter on the call
As a data structure in the return value
Place the data into another object like a user space that the calling
procedure would read after the call.

I'm sure there are other ways to achieve this also.

With the changes Scott suggested the Main Procedure and the External
Subprocedure both compile and run as I would like.  In the Main Procedure,
I'd like to use the record information from the CHAIN operation in the
subprocedure.  What would be a good way to do this?  This is my first time
working with subprocedures so if anyone sees anything that I'm doing wrong
or anything that isn't necessary, please share some pointers to set me
straight so that I can code these things properly in the future.  Thanks
for all your time in helping me understand subprocedures.

1. The main procedure only needs the prototype(PR) for the subprocedure,
not
the procedure interface(PI).  One doing this for real use a /copy to bring
in the prototype so it is only defined once.

2. When you are calling the procedure you are only passing one parameter
but
the procedure requires two.

3.  You have defined the return value as being of size 4 although it looks
like you are only passing a size of 1 back.  This isn't causing an error
but
it looks inconsistent so I'm pointing it out.

4.  In your subprocedure, why have two different If statements?  Just use
the else for the second condition.
