Re: Data structures in free prototypes?

Anything data structure that is passed in a parameter should be templated.

Start copy block

dcl-ds TD_Parm1 Qualified Template;
Field1 Char(1);
Field2 Char(2);
Field3 Packed(5:2);
end-ds

dcl-pr Call1;
PR_InMyDataStrucutre LikeDs(TD_Parm1) Const;
end-pr;

End copy block

dcl-proc Call1 Export;
dcl-pi *N;
InMyDataStructure LikeDs(TD_Parm1) Const;
end-pi;

Thanks! I was hoping that the DS's could be nested, but this is easy
