RE: Help with data area in RPG

Willie - is there any reason as to why you are capturing the user id in the
CL program and passing that data via a data area to an RPG program. You
have mentioned that you are a newbie, so there is a chance that you do not
know about the following code

D                sds
D  Pgm                    1     10
D  WkStn                244    253
D  UsrID                254    263
D  Job#                 264    269

Donald,
Would you please show me an example of the first two. Cannot use the last
suggestion because has to be different for each user that signson.
Willie..

One possibility would be to populate the local data area (*LDA) with
whatever information you want to store in the data area.  Another thought
would be to pass the information into the RPG program as parameters.  A
third possibility would be to create the data area in QTEMP using the same
name for the data area each time.

Will any of those work for you?

Create a data area using the 'userid' field in a CL program. This I have
done.  Where I am having problems is calling this data area in my RPG
program. I cannot get the created data area to read in my program.
The data area can be different depending on who runs the job.
