return a data structure using ServiceProgramCall

["Richard Rothe" <RRothe@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am having some difficulty getting a data structure returned to my Java
program using ServiceProgamCall to call an RPG procedure. I can watch it
in debug and the data structure gets populated okay. 

Can anyone shed some light on this ? I would really appreciate some
expertise on this problem.
