I'm not Matt, but...

I would agree if it weren't for the fact that UDF interfaces use service
programs and modules. The fact that *PGM objects are called only by
reference, is immaterial.

I am pretty sure that "PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL" means that each
parameter is passed "by reference", which is the usual convention when
CALLing an external *PGM in OS/400. That is to say, since this is an
"external" UDF, you can pass parameters by reference, but not by value.

Does that help?

Not sure why you feel this would require you to "always change the

this create for you?

Basically I was asking, "Am I doing this wrong or is this the only
way to
fix it?" It's not difficult, but if I was defining the UDF
incorrectly,
correcting that definition would be a simpler solution.
