Declaring an external printer file

I would like to declare a printer file in a sub procedure... but I can't seem to get the program to compile.
If I move it to the program level, it compiles just fine.

When the DCL-F is in the sub procedure, I get RNF7274: A result data structure is required for I/O operations to file MYPRTF

The goal is to only open the externally described printer file when that particular sub proc is called, and close it when the procedure is finished.

TIA
Greg
