RE: Getting into pointers

However, it seems as if you have PGM2 allocating the space.

This is probably not a good idea. In fact, if PGM2 ends with
LR=*ON, you've got a real good possibility of corrupting memory.

How are you having PGM2 allocate the space?

PGM2 is doing this :

MyPtr = %addr(MyDS);
After populating MyDS.

I think what you and Scott are saying is that %addr is also allocating the space.

PGM2 ends with return. Perhaps if I put *inlr to on I'd notice the difference.

Now if I do :

D MyDS DS LIKEDS ( gMyOtherDS )
DIM ( 100 )
D MyPtr S *

MyPtr = %addr(MyDS);
PGM2(MyPtr);

The DS in PGM2 must be BASED on the pointer. The same goes for MyDS in PGM1 if I want to use the DS. Right?
