Re: Pass MODS as parm in Free Format

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Define the parm as LIKEDS(xxxxxxxx)

Easy.

There is zero need to play with pointers these days for this kind of parm.

A DS array would be better of course and could actually be passed as a MODS since internally they are the same. But it would also use LikeDS so no difference there.
