YES. A GDA can be used in an external subroutine. Thats
where a GDA comes in real handy. I personally rather use a
subprogram but developers use subroutine and like it. You
dont have to pass any parameter but you must use the GDA.
Upon returning from the subroutine you can interrogate the
glbal fields for your edits. Here is an example of an
external subroutine (chopped off to fit here): (I didnt
write this but use it all the time, works perfect)
DEFINE DATA
GLOBAL USING DSLGLOB
LOCAL
1 #NAME (A15) INIT <' '>
1 REDEFINE #NAME
2 #ARRAY (A1/15)
1 #X (N2)
1 #LENGTH (N2)
1 #BLANK (A1) INIT <'N'>
END-DEFINE
***********************************************
DEFINE SUBROUTINE NAME-EDIT
***********************************************
ETC ETC
END-SUBROUTINE
