Actually, the Sel_Mbrs is defined as an array, see the last spec on the DS.

I would prototype the call to the subprocedure with CONST, as you do not

Tried this and got the same results.

Can you not change it into an ELEM type parm? Then you can use pointer

No, they are not related in the fashion you are thinking.

Still searching through archives, and I saw the reference made in the "Who
Knew" redbook.  I found the section "3.5.2 Replacing the *ENTRY PLIST", but
I'm not comprehending.  The example snippet on page 45 shows a prototype
with ExtPgm('MAINMOD'), but I'm not catching how MAINMOD is defined.  Is it
the name of the program object in which the main module resides? <confusion
reigns>  I tried this, and the compiler puked at the Begin Procedure spec:
"RNF1505: A procedure cannot be defined when the prototype specifies
EXTPROC(variable) or EXTPGM."

Still searching...

TIA,
Dan
