QRNOPENACC - namesValues and returning to calling rpg

i'm developing a handler pgm to replicate a CHAIN to a SQL Select...

so i have done everything i need within my handler pgm to do the sql select
and then what i thought i needed to do to loop back through the namesValues
and update the value, valuelenbytes, and hasnullvalue...

I turn on p_IO.found because my row was fetched from the sql select.

but when it returns back to the calling rpg pgm i get...

the dump shows that the fields for the chain (in which i replicated the sql
select for) are all blank.

what am i missing?

btw, i'm working from Dans tutorial at...
