Re: Passing a file as a parameter to a second Program

It's a shame when an owner or manager makes such a decision when someone uses a good thing badly - rather, I hope they'd spend the time and/or money on being sure it is done correctly, because it is worth doing.

But who will educate the higher-ups when you don't understand it rightly yourself?

Catch-22, anyone?

The only problem I will possibly run into here is the owner is adamantly

in the past used them and didn't do it correctly and it caused all kinds

I can imagine that using copy books incorrectly could cause problemjs,
but using copy books at all will almost certainly lead to all kinds of
problems if you have the situation where two modules need to define
something the same.

Binding directories is a separate thing entirely. You can easily manage
without binding directories by explicitly listing the necessary modules
and service programs on your CRTPGM and CRTSRVPGM commands, assuming you
have those in somethink like a CL program.
