If you were passing a table via linkage, which is preferable - a subscript or an index?

Wake up - you haven't been paying attention! It's not possible to pass an index via linkage. The index is not part of the calling programs working storage. Those of us who've made this mistake, appreciate the lesson more than others.

Pradeep,

Please don't forget that u cannot pass a Index via linkage section as it is not defined in the working storage section. It is something defined by the system.
