PM:
I was under the impression that parameters are passed by reference, i.e.

a pointer is passed. Is that not the case?

By default parameters are passed by reference, yes. But, that
does not mean that RPG receives a pointer value. Rather, it means that
RPG receives a list of addresses which it then bases your procedure
parameter list against. Meaning, if your parameter list wants to get a
pointer address as a value then what has to be passed is the address of
the address to be passed by reference.
