using GETMAINs across programs w/ SET ADDRESS OFs

Postby paulmac1968 » Thu Oct 02, 2014 9:01 pm

Simple question.....

Can I do a GETMAIN in program A, pass the pointer via linkage to program B and then in program B do a SET ADDRESS OF MY-FIELD TO PTR-FROM-PGM-A? I've seen plenty of examples of where it's all done in one program, but not across two. I'm thinking it shouldn't be an issue.

Thx.

Paul Mac

You, you can. It the program is not in the same region you must use GETMAIN SHARED
