RE: QCMDEXC Wrapper

Thanks Barbara (and Phil)... I just can't get my head around treating full
blown programs like sub-procedures, so just a couple more questions:

Can I omit the EXPORT keyword?
Is there a way to have both the PI and the *ENTRY? (just curious)
I assume I need the P specs?

Here's my example if someone could verify that I'm on track...

In the calling program:

d autocomp        pr                  extpgm('SALAUTO2')
d sbrecn                         7  0
d sbstry                         3
d sbfrpr                         8  0
d sbtopr                         8  0

In the CALLPed program:

d autocomp        pr                  extpgm('SALAUTO2')
d sbrecn                         7  0
d sbstry                         3
d sbfrpr                         8  0
d sbtopr                         8  0

d autocomp        pi                 
d sbrecn                         7  0
d sbstry                         3
d sbfrpr                         8  0
d sbtopr                         8  0


What I'm getting at is do I still need the name 'autocomp' on the PI? If
this was a sub-procedure I would have the EXPORT keyword, do I not need that
here?

Thanks... since I do sub-procedures all the time this shouldn't be so hard
for me... just getting adle brained! :)
