Par2: Passing a Queue to a procedure (TYPE'd queues)
1999-07-27 -- Shawn Mason
 
It can be a little tricky.  You need to define a queue in your includes (or globally) with
a 
TYPE attribute.  Then create the queue in both procedures using a LIKE your TYPE 
queue.  When you pass the queue, make it as a STRING parameter instead of a queue
(a queue parameter will not compile).  When you need the components of the queue in 
the procedures use the following dot syntax:

MyLocalProcQueueName.MyQueueField

This will allow you to read/write to the individual fields in the queue whether in the
calling
or called procedure.  A lot of this is covered in the help file under TYPE.
