RE: Multi Occurrence Data Structure returned from a procedure



I've had pretty good luck passing a pointer to the MODS, and returning that
along with the record count.
Passing a pointer as a "both" parameter (meaning both input and output) will work fine. However, don't RETURN a pointer unless you understand the ramifications of doing so, and have taken appropriate precautions.
MODS is very awkward for this sort of thing. Switch to using arrays of data structures. I know, I know, a lot of people aren't running V5R2 yet... if that's the case, you're stuck with the nasty MODS approach. But, if you're at V5R2 or later, use an array of data structures, you'll like it better.
