By "DLL messages", you mean sending messages to the Acucobol window - you
could do that, but it's not the easiest or best way. (If I recall, Acucobol
provides hooks where you can subclass the main window so you can intercept
messages, but this requires writing some C code and relinking the runtime.)

They can just pass you additional variables in their CALL of your DLL and
your DLL can just put the values you want to pass back using the pointers to
those variables. Or if they want, you can overwrite the values in the
variables they are passing to you. Have them take a look at the docs on the
CALL verb.
