A quick question that occurred to me:

If I define a MODS in one program, set the occurrence to 1 and pass it to

a

second program and that called program then loads the MODS with data,

does

the called program need to reset the occurrence to 1 before returning to

the

calling program?

Interesting question. Honest answer is I don't know for certain. Although
it is a pointer to the storage of the original variable I would think that
it is a copy of the original pointer is being passed.

Haven't got time to play or I'd test it. But why not avoid the whole mess
and use a DS array instead of a MODS anyway?
