RE: Declaring the same DS in caller and callee

Thanks, could you explain that in more detail? I don't understand.
We are on V5R4.

I usually declare such DS's as BASED( TEMPLATE) or with v6r1 use the new TEMPLATE keyword in the copy source member containing the prototype.

That way both the callee and the caller are using the same prototype and the DS definition.

Hello all,

If I have this in an external procedure,

D myDS DS LIKEREC ( myrecord : *INPUT )

CHAIN mykey myfile myDS;



If I wanted to call the procedure and get the whole record or just parts of it, how should I declare the variables in the calling procedure so that they match those in the external procedure?

Thanks.
