Re: ILE CL calling RPG procedure help.

Hi John,

Actually, I think when you put the procedure name in single quotes, such 
as PRC('DELETEMBR') it needs to be caps.  If you don't, such as 
PROC(DeleteMbr) then CL will convert it to caps for you before trying to
use it.

Or am I confused?  (Sorry... I dont use CL very much... it's too limited)
