Passing group items out of a COBOL stored procedure

[sumituk1]

Hi,

does anyone know if we can pass a repeating group (group item) out of a cobol stored procedure . I know I can pass out a result set(i.e. a cursor) .

Can I pass out something like:

01 OUTGROUP OCCURS 5 TIMES.
03 IFIN1-PLANNED-PYT
05 PP-DUE-DATE PIC X(8).
05 PP-AMT PIC S9(12).
03 IFIN1-PC
05 PC-OS-AMT PIC S9(12).

out of a COBOL stored procedure?

Regards,
Sumit

Sumit,
I'm not awhere of any reason why not. Craig Mullins describes on this page:

how to pass an array TO the stored procedure (find and click on "listing 13.1" on the page), so I guess you can use the same method to pass back ie. pass the 01 level

Hope this helps,

Marc
