RE: Passing a pointer as a parameter.

That's what I thought too, and that's why I was trying to avoid a second
read, when I should already have the required data in the first program.
I thought an ODP just shared the cursor positioning and not the buffer.

No.  Unless you actually re-read the same record in PGMB, the fields in
PGMB will retain the values of the last record read in PGMB.
