Re: Passing Multi Occurance DS as parm btw modules

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How are you passing the MODS between the modules?  Parameters work by 
sharing memory across the programs.  So as long as the correct memory 
address gets passed, you should not have problems.

Are you using prototypes to make the call?  Or are you using CALLB?  Did 
you remember to set the occurrence to 1 (so that you get the memory 
address of the starting element)?

Would it be possible to use an array of qual data structures instead of a 
MODS?  This is generally easier to code.  But if you need V5R1 or older 
compatibility, you may be stuck with MODS.

I'll never recommend import/export (I consider them to be a very bad 
practice).
