RE: Passing data structure to batch job

I've seen these problems, too, Jon. Always when the programmer hard-coded
the definition of the LDA in the program. That is, the LDA was "flexible"
for each procedure.

On the other hand, I have never had an issue with using the LDA because the
definition is defined in a copy book so it is always the same regardless of
which program is using it.

That said, I use it only for passing things like report selections from one
program to another, not data.

I would suggest you look at the *LDA for this.

Go wash your mouth out with soap young man!
