Frank, ignore what I said.  I didn't notice the NOMAIN that shows your
subprocedure is in a different module.

Rick's suggestion of passing a parameter is a good one.  Using
externally-described data structures to define the parameter would be
useful.  You would have to code the subprocedure module something like
this, coding the externally-described DS in the global variables,
because the CHAIN will only read into global variables.

H nomain
FAAL03002 if      e       disk
D AAL03002ds  e ds               extname(thefile)
P AAL03_VAL b                    export
D           pi
D  record                        like(AAL03002ds)
c    keys   chain AAL03002
c           eval  record = AAL03002ds
P           e

You could return the structure instead of using a parm, but that might
involve returning a "large value", which is not really recommended.
(And you already have a return value anyway.)
