Hi Booth

Without a lot more information, I suggest that you try using the QUALIFIED keyword - then the subfields - what you called "...field names in the data structures..." - the subfields are not already defined.

I have confused myself. Again.

Learning about service programs, prototypes, procedures and stumbling.

I I have a service program with which I wish to offer several procedures relating to the various fields in a specific file.

Each procedure will have specific data structures dealing with the fields related to that procedure. I would like to use the same data structure name in several procedures although the fields will be different in each data structure. It's not letting me do that. Then, when I changed the names of the data structures it tells me that the field names in the data structures are already defined.

So... how do I make data structures and field names that are local to the procedure in which they reside? Or is that a you'll-be-sorry wish?
