Saving a Record's BIND Address

To access a database record from a subprogram, you may need to know its storage address. You can use the ACCEPT BIND ADDRESS statement to acquire the storage address of a record that was bound in the calling program.

Because the ACCEPT BIND ADDRESS statement returns a storage address, it is typically used with subroutines.

For more information on the ACCEPT BIND ADDRESS statement, see the language-specific CA IDMS DML Reference Guide.
