RE: link list returned from service program

No, not safe.... Better to allocate in caller, then pass (by reference) the DS to the link-list-loader.

Can you be more specific?

In my service program, I do %alloc(%size(myDS)). This allocated memory
is then added to the list like myDSLast.next = myDS.... (The standard
link list stuff)

That would depend on how the memory was allocated...

I'm just curious to know if I've an export procedure that returns a

list after the service program is destroyed from the activation group?
