RE: Reg: Compiler Options Related

Hey Jon,

Why aren’t you Data Structure Export fan?

So great to have to possibility to chain (and possibly lock) a db file record in a Service Program, have the Exported DS filled up and
only have to Import the DS in other program(s) without having to re-chain

That technique was explain in a ILE Red Book a while ago

Your best option is STOP IT

If you have to share data like this use a mapped User Space of Data Area. Exports are one of the things I really wish we hadn't included in ILE. They seemed a good yes at the time but ...

Just my opinion ...
