RE: LDA with various pgms

Steve,

I know F12 is the standard - the problem is the existing programs don't have 
that functionality, if I add it, then every other program that calls it would 
also have to be changed.  

Here is the code in my program:

D                UDS               
D  LdaEND                 1      1 
D  Ldaabkt                1     42 
D  Ldasls                40     57 
D  Ldaacct               34    158 
D*                                 
D  @abkt          s             42 
D  @sls           s             19 
D  @rep           s             37 
D  @acct          s            126

C                   goto      abktparm

C                   goto      slmnparm                
C                   endif                             
C*                                                    
C                   eval      %subst(@rep:37:1) = 'x'

C                   if        ldaEND = 'R'            
C                   goto      CRepParm                
C                   endif                              
C*                                                     
C                   eval      @acct = ldaacct          
C                   eval      %subst(@acct:126:1) = 'x'
C*                                                     
C                   EndSR                              

This is what the CL was doing...

/* SELECT SALESMEN */                                          
             CALL       PGM(SE0120)                            
             IF         COND(%SST(*LDA 1 1) = 'R') THEN(GOTO + 
                          CMDLBL(END))                         
             CHGVAR     VAR(&SLS) VALUE(%SST(*LDA 40 18))      
             CHGVAR     VAR(%SST(&SLS 19 1)) VALUE('x')        
                                                               
/* SELECT CREDIT REP */                                        
             CALL       PGM(SE0124) PARM(&REP)                 
             IF         COND(%SST(*LDA 1 1) = 'R') THEN(GOTO + 
                          CMDLBL(END))                         
             CHGVAR     VAR(%SST(&REP 37 1)) VALUE('x')        

etc...
