RE: RPGLE - DS Subfields as parameters or contiguous memory for standalone fields

["Walden H. Leverich" <WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Duh! Factor 1 and 2 on the parm statement, I forgot about those! And yes,
LIKE() would be a better way to define them.

Thanks,

This should work: put your subfields into factor 1 of each parm statement.
Use like defined fields for your actual parms.  This will cause the contents
of the passed parameter to be copied into the subfield:

D PIBCST          s                   like(P1BCST)
D PIBBNB          s                   like(P1BBNB)

C     *ENTRY        PLIST
C     P1FLD1        PARM                    PIBCST
C     P1FLD2        PARM                    PIBBNB

Notice that the actual parameter field name starts with "PI" rather than
"P1"; that seems to work with your naming conventions.
