You can TYPE a Queue and pass it as suggested by James and others, but I often
pass the Queue and the Queue fields by address especially if I need to
access/update only a few of the queue fields.
Proc1 PROCEDURE
MyQ QUEUE,PRE(MQ)
F1 STRING
F2 LONG
END
CODE
...
Proc2(MyQ, MQ:F1, MQ:F2)
...
RETURN
Proc2 PROCEDURE(*QUEUE InpQ, *STRING QFld1, *LONG QFld2)
CODE
QFld1 = 'ABC'
QFld2 = 1
ADD(InpQ)
!~!
QFld2 = 1
GET(InpQ, QFld1)
!~!
PUT(InpQ)
!~!
DELETE(InpQ)
!~!
It saves defining a TYPEd queue in the global area when you usage ig going to be limited.
