RE: MODS confusion

[J.Beckeringh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

What I mean is that SP2 receives a pointer and passes a pointer; because 
it does not do anything else with the pointer, it technically does not 
really matter what the pointer points to. It might be a character field, a 
data structure, a packed field or anything else. It would make more sense 
to pass the pointer by value, but you can't use VALUE in a program 
prototype.

That it won't compile is because of a mismatch between prototype (PR) and 
procedure interface (PI). If you make sure they match, the compiler will 
happily accept it.
