Your procedure interface defines the name of the parameter being passed.

inPlist1 likeds(plist1) const;


By using LIKEDS the data structure is automatically qualified.

So, in the Procedure you would reference the fields by qualifying access.

inPlist1.fieldname


The data structure plist1 is empty because, within the service program, it has not been set to a value.
If you "must" use the unqualified fields from plist1, then your procedure would need to load plist1 from inPlist1.

I find it best to use qualified data structures whenever possible.

OK... but the subfields in inPlist1 have the same name.

When I look at inPlist1 in debug, I can see data in the subfields. Yet when referencing just the subfield name in the procedure, it is empty.
