RE: PSDS as parm -- RPG400-L

If you have CODE400, it has a tool that creates a PSDS for you.  Another
thing that can be handy is a dummy physical file that exists solely to
define the PSDS fields  so you can have an externally defined data
structure mapped to it.

I don't use CODE much any more, but I copied the PSDS and INFDS stuff
out of CODE into my skeleton program.  The annoying thing about CODE's
and the manual's PSDS is that both use the from to subfield definitions.


I think Rob's suggestion of a parm defined likeds is probably the
smallest amount of work.
