Don, What I am trying to do is when a user signs on a data area is created for that user. Then a program will run asking the users location. Once I get that I want to output a two(2) chara code in the data area to use in my cl. I have also enclosed part of my code. Duserdta DS dtaara(*var:UsrID) Dprtdev 1 10A D sds DUsrID 254 263A Any suggestion or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

The CL Reference has detailed information on how to use this command. The RPG program code would look something like: LocalDataArea UDS DTAARA(*LDA) <Sub-fields> IN LocalDataArea The parameters method would just involve the CL program passing whatever information you're placing in the data area as parameters (*ENTRY in RPG) to the RPG program (CALL RPGPGM (&PARM1 &PARM2...) As for the third, QTEMP is unique to each job in the system so even though the data area would have the same name, there would be a different copy of it for each user signed on. As a fourth option, how about creating a service program to populate and retrieve the information in your data area? You wouldn't have to put the logic into every CL and RPG program that will use this technique that way. Hope that helps. Donald R.

Cannot use the last suggestion because has to be different for each user that signson. <clip>
