RE: If a DCL-PI parameter has the LIKEDS(DSABC), and the data structure DSABC itself has DIM..

Without the DIM you are passing one element of the array.
If the parm needs to be an array, then it will also need DIM.


DCL-PI GETARRAY ;

oABCXYZ LIKED( ABCDS ) DIM(100);

END-PI ;

An alternative if you don't want to require DIM on the Parm, put the array inside another DS.


DCL-DS ABCDS QUALIFIED;

ABC PACKED(3) ;

XYZ CHAR(3) ;

END-DS



DCL-DS LMNOPDS QUALIFIED;

SIZE INT(10);

ABC LIKEDS(ABCDS) DIM(100);

END-DS;



DCL-PI GETSOMETING;

LMNOP LIKEDS(LMNOPDS);

END-PI;
