>> Wouldn't an exported constant Variable have other attributes such as type, length, etc? Unless I'm mismembering, exported variables don't really have any attributes other than a name. It is up to the programmer to make sure the storage is mapped in the same way in the importer as it was in the exporter. According to the ILE Concepts manual, the length of strong exports has to be known at compile time. However, although RPG uses the strong export model, I see no evidence that length has any effect. A test module that exported a 30 character field was successfully imported into other modules as both a 20 and as a 40 character field with no problems. It seems likely that exports like parms are "just a pointer" with no other special attributes. Jon Paris Partner400 www.Partner400.com
