RE: Free format read and write in subprocedure

["Hiebert, Chris" <chris.hiebert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary,
You have to define two separate data structures. 
One for input and One for output.

Try
D injcds            DS
Likerec(APAM01JC.APAM01JCR:*INPUT)    
D outjcds            DS
Likerec(APAM01JC.APAM01JCR:*OUTPUT)    

If you need to copy the data between the two you can usually use
outJcds = InJcds;

However, you can also use 
EVAL-CORR outJcds=InJcds;

Alan, thank you for your patience.
 
Specifying *Output gets close, but: 
 
*RNF7595 The result data structure JCDS does not include a
	   subfield in position 1 for record format APAM01JCR.

Is raised on: Read(E) APAM01JC jcds;

There is at least one thread in Midrange discussing RNF7595.

The relevant subprocedure F and D specs:

FAPAM01JC  UF A E           K DISK    USROPN Qualified
Job Control file

D jcds            DS
Likerec(APAM01JC.APAM01JCR:*OUTPUT)    Job Control DS
 *D jcds            DS
Likerec(APAM01JC.APAM01JCR:*INPUT)     Job Control DS
 *D jcds            DS                  Likerec(APAM01JC.APAM01JCR:*ALL)
Job Control DS
 *D jcds          E DS                  Extname(APAM01JC:APAM01JCR:*ALL)
Job Control DS                  

And here, clean at last, the write:

Write(E) APAM01JC.APAM01JCR jcds;

As you see from the collection of D specs, I played whack-a-mole looking
for a combination that would compile, but just exchanged one or three
compile errors for another one or so.

And now: I am keeping the Read and replacing the Write with an SQL
Insert.

You get that because the data structure is not declared as *Output.
