All,

I got something unexpected compiling a service program and am intrigued.

I defined one of the parms in the procedure interface like this:

D ASLPC 7P 2 Const

since I change the value of that field in the called procedure, the compiler told me that was a no-no. Just for fun, I changed it to this:

D ASLPC 7P 2 Value

Now it compiles! Is this working as designed? I can pass decimal parms as VALUE, they can be different sizes in the caller/callee, and the compiler handles it? The calling program gets back the changed value, decimal aligned and everything?

I'm going to try some experimenting, but I just didn't think this would work on parms that get changed.
