... but how could the called program do that? It has no indication that the
caller is sending an element of a MODS.

In the case I presented, the called program that loads the mods does
not reset the occurrence to 1. This is a converted RPGIII.

I cannot remember why one cannot just pass a mods as a parameter
between rpgIV programs as one could with RPGIII. To encapsulate the
original RPGIII, this was used as a parameter between the rpgIV
receiving the mods and the rpgIII sending the mods :

D MYSP B
d parmMods like(ref_mods)
D Error

Notice it is not a DS at all, it is a character field with the same
length as the mods.

I am just guessing but this is what is happening to my program :

First call to mysp : parmmods points to mymods(1) in the caller so all
ends ok.
second call parmmods points to mymods(last_used_occurence) - rpgIII
modifies 20 occurrences starting from that position and overflows into
position occupied by the parameter Error.

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?
