Hi Scott -

Heh... it always brings a smile to my face when I see my code resurface!
and this is undoubtedly my code, with one difference...


Given this plist ...

0058.00 c     *entry        plist
0059.00 c                   parm                    peUserDscInfo
0060.00 c                   parm                    peDevDscInfo
0061.00 c                   parm                    peCnnDscInfo
0062.00 c                   parm                    peEnvOpt
0063.00 c                   parm                    peEnvOptLen
0064.00 c                   parm                    peAllowConn
0065.00 c                   parm                    peAutoSignOn


Why have this ...

0069.00 c                   eval      p_CnnDscInfo = %addr(peCnnDscInfo)

0044.00  ** Connection Description Info structure
0045.00 D p_CnnDscInfo    S               *   inz(*NULL)
0046.00 D dsCnnDscInfo    DS                  based(p_CnnDscInfo)


and not ...

0044.00  ** Connection Description Info structure
0046.00 D peCnnDscInfo   DS

with the appropriate subfields? Unless I'm missing something (quite possible) I don't see the need for the pointer or pointer-based data structure.
