Agreed. Data Queues would work too. I just think user spaces are a bit
faster, albeit maybe not enough to care.

It occurs to me that the data passing between the programs should maybe
use a user space as opposed to parameters? Name the user space with the
specific job information. Calling program creates the user space, loads
it, calls program C. Program C grabs the data out of the user space and
deletes it. (Or keep it around until the end of the job stream, just make
sure to clean it up)
If the amount of data is a concern, then data queue's can be used also.
I use data queue's extensively to pass complex, and varying length, data
between RPG and Java applications.
