I had a similar issue and resolved it using pointers. I assigned the
pointer to the DS/Array. Then I just passed the pointer to procedure as
the parameter instead of the DS/Array.

dcl-s array_ptr POINTER ;
dcl-ds Array_ds occurs(5000) based(array_ptr) ;

parameter that is passed is array_ptr

In called subprocedure (program, etc)
- receive parm_array_ptr

dcl-s sub_array_ptr Pointer ;

dcl_ds Array_ds occurs(5000) based on (sub_array_ptr)

sub_array_ptr = parm_array_ptr

Since you are using the same address, all the changes will be there when
you return.

I don't know why I always struggle with this

I have created a sub procedure that uses an SQL cursor to gather a list of
ID numbers (see below). I mean this will work if I move the DS definition
to the main part of the pgm

So my question is how to define a parameter to return this data to the
main part of the pgm?
And how do I define the variable in the main part of the pgm?


dcl-pi CheckShipIDs;
inPID like(phpid#) const;
inPO like(phpo#) const;
end-pi;


dcl-ds ship qualified dim(10);
id char(20);
end-ds;
dcl-s maxrows uns(5) inz(%elem(ship));

Exec Sql
Declare pscsr Cursor for
Select distinct(psidcd) from POSDQPS
exception join ADRESSAD on adent#=:wkent# and adaltk=:psidcd
where pspid#=:inPID and pspo#=:inPO;

Exec Sql Open pscsr;
Exec Sql Fetch Next from pscsr For :maxrows Rows into :ship;
