... its a liitle bit offtopic for the OP, but...
@ set(property : value): the drawback of this aproach is: readability and you loose all type checking of the compiler => I would not recommend this, it's a bad practice!
@ the caller owns the memory: another rpg- typic bad practice! this aproach destroys all encapsulation, the contents of the memory could be corrupted by the caller => I would strongly recommend to avoid this!!!
@ multiple instances: you could define a DS instanceType based dummy pointer, containing all "instance Variables" (:= all statefull information) then you woul need a procedure new (a "Constructor") returning an instance (an int as a handle), allocating storage for another occurence of a DS of instanceType. Last not least you would have an additional parm int handle for all exported procedures. For an example you could have a look to: http://bender-dv.de/Sourcen/QRPGLESRC.APILIST .

@OP: I would start to forget Subroutines and using subprocedures instead. Second step would be to forget the opcodes call and callb and to use callp instead. When you habe incorporated this, next step would be to export procedures. When this is managed, come bacjk to discussion about design of modules and SRVPGMs.
