I have a procedure that executes several other procedures.  There is a data
structure defined in this procedure that needs to be used by the called
procedures.  It appears the manual is telling me that specifying EXPORT on
the data structure will allow the called procedures to use and populate the
fields in the data structure so the first procedure can know the values.  Is
this correct?

If so, does this also mean that other procedures that also have this data
structure defined will also know the values?  The reason I ask is I have a
file i/o module that handles multiple sort sequences.  In this case, there
are four such sequences and a procedure that handles each one.  These
procedures each execute a "Next Record", "Previous Record", and "Matching
Record" procedures.  I would like the four procedures and their "children"
to manipulate this information independently from each the other three
procedures and their "children".  

I suppose I could use PREFIX, but what adverse effects would that have?

As always, any help will be much appreciated.
