RE: Global Variables in a Service Program

Nathan,
That's an interesting idea. Would you mind posting a short code sample so
we can see it in context?

H CopyRight('2006 Relational Data Corporation') nomain

D msgDs           DS                  Export          
D  msg_type                      1A                   
D  msg_text                    128A   Varying

That's all there is to it.  Don't laugh.  It compiles.  A service program is 
created.  Other programs can bind to it, and share the data.

Nathan.

What I do not see, is how I would access this common data in my programs 
without having to define the variables in the program using the Import keyword.
If I do that, then I do not have any advantage in a service program with the 
data in it.
