Re: Procedure equivalent in Cobol

Simon,

What's so different about the ILE architecture of COBOL vs RPG? RPG does
allow you to code subprocedures like function which is very cool. However,
you can still perform the same function by using 'CALL PROCEDURE'. My
recollection is that the structure of the program objects is the same.
I've written several programs to take advantage of this when I want to
hide internal procedures within a service program.

Nope. COBOL's equivalent is nested programs--not quite the same thing
but close.
