Re: Overlaying a DS over an entry parm

[Tony Carolla <carolla@xxxxxxxxx>]

Excellent.  This works beautifully.  I was unaware of that fact about
parameters, but it makes sense, when you consider that programs you
call can change the values in the called parameters, and the actual
copy is changed (passed by reference, I believe is the term.)

I have since realized, that since I am using the qualified parameter
to send to an API (QUSLMBR, parm 3), there is no need to parse out the
file and library name, I can simply pass the parm to the API.

But when I use the SrcFile variable as a parm to this API, I get a
'Severe error while addressing parameter list.' error.  I assume this
is because I am passing a pointer to storage my job doesn't own?

I guess I will have to break down and simply pass the parm to a DS,
then pass the DS to the API.  'Severe' sure sounds menacing... ;-)
