RE: Passing Multi Occurance DS as parm btw modules

Roger,
  I deceided to use your suggestion and pass a pointer to the MODS in Module A.
  Works great.
   
  Thanks again.

  Jeff,

Hope your experiment works. If Scott's suggested prototypes don't work
either, could you put the second module in a service program that
returns a pointer to its MODS and code the based MODS in the 1st module?

Roger,
I am doing a multiple row SQL FETCH in the second module, and the only
thing it will accept is a MODS.
I do not think it will accept a MODS with the BASED keyword, but I
will check.

Thanks,

You can pass the pointer to a MODS in one module and base an identical
MODS in the other module on that pointer. I had to do that once and it
works well. However, As Scott pointed out before, it is much easier to
pass DS arrays if your code does not need to be compatible with earlier
releases.

Scott,
Typo on Occur. S/B Occurs.

Occurs is not allowed on a prototype parm. How do I define it then?
