In my case I like to keep subprocedure definitions simple as changing them
(adding parms in different locations) can cause major headaches. I use
"setters" instead to set values, especially arrays.

For example:

#function_setValue('PBNUM':[value]);

For arrays I use "add" setters:
#function_addValue('RECEIPT':[recipt value]);

Which would add a receipt to the array. This way you don't have to pass an
array and the only thing that changes when you need to add more parms is
the function(s) that you're using to set values for the procedures.

Just an idea. Probably a little late now for your development but it's
worked well for me for a few years now.

I googled arrays as parameters and found Scotts PDF:

I'm sure there's more out there as well.

Merry Christmas everyone
I am hoping that not too many people have taken today as a holiday
Before I forget - we are on V7r3

I am creating a brand new service program, with a number of new procedures
This particular procedure has the following prototype

dcl-pr getCTFulfill likeds(rtnUserProfileDS);
pPbnum packed(7:0) const;
pPbslt# packed(2:0) const;
pFulfillmentId char(17) const;
pReceipt# char(10) const;
pDebug ind const options(*nopass);
pLR ind const
options(*nopass);
end-pr;


I now need to insert 2 arrays after pReceipt# (if that makes a difference)
Each array will have a dim of 2000

The question is - how do I define them in the above prototype?

As always - all responses gratefully accepted
