Sorry, why do CALLP when I can simply do.

dcl-pr GetCount ExtProc('CLPROC');
PR_Field1 Char(9)
end-pr

GetCount(Field1);

why do I need CALLP?

dcl-pr GetCount Int(10) ExtProc('Cpro');
PR_Field1 Char(10);
end-pr;

How do I call this using a CALLP? I can't without discarding the return value.

If I can prototype any call, then I don't need CALLP.

​Alan,

CALL is obsolete...

CALLB is call bound prcoedure & is also obsolete

CALLP is call using prototype; and is the only call you should be using.

Why would you use CALLP in RPG? It has been obsolete for
twenty

years.

Incorrect -- for more than one reason. It is optional
in

certain

circumstances and required in others.
