Re: Calling OPM RPG with a datastructure...

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the benefit of the archives - you would have had the same problem  
if calling OPM from OPM - or ILE from ILE or ...

You cannot substitute a DS for a PLIST - they are completely different  
animals.

You can use a PLIST in an RPG IV program, just not in /Free.

The "correct" solution would be to create a prototype to replace the  
PLIST and then simply string out all 25 parms on the CALL - that way  
the call can be done in /Free. Otherwise just go into fixed form and  
use a conventional CALL/PLIST arrangement.
