RE: how do I prototype this ....

Good point, Scott.  However, in our situation we have standardized external
data structures which are used extensively in our legacy applications.  We
are just taking our first baby steps with prototypes.  Keeping the data
structure method for certain applications better fits what we are trying to
accomplish.  Also, helped to get us going on this without a lot of
resistance from those who prefer the status quo.  Even through all our
programs have been converted to RPGIV, they are still mostly running under
OPM.  Some still resist using extended factor 2.

Ok, it is all fine and good having the ability to 'pass' the data
structure thru the prototype, but aren't you giving up Type Checking?  I
thought Type Checking was one of the main reasons to use prototyping.?.?
