Re: cl question

This CL program would have nothing to do with display files.

Other RPG or CL programs would call this CL. Those programs would need to have 
parms setup the same (not the names, but the size, type, and order) as the 
parms on this cl programs PGM statement, and used on their call statement. It 
looks like it is used to determine if an object exsits. The calling program 
would fill in &obj &Lib and would use the &ok parm to see it it does exsits (Y).

The problem is &TYPE never gets a value. So I am not sure but I thinks this 
would cause an error every time on the chkobj. So &OK would always be N.
