RE: CRTBNDRPG, ACTGRP and the H spec -- RPG400-L

Joe,
Here's what we use where some programmers use CrtBndRpg and some use
CrtxxxMod and CrtPgm:

 /If defined(*CRTBNDRPG)                                               
H ActGrp(     QILE                                                )    
H DftActGrp(  *NO                                                 )    
 /endif                                                                
H AlwNull(    *USRCTL                                             )    
H BndDir(    'QC2LE' : 'LINBNDDIR '                               )    
H Copyright( 'Lincare Holdings, Inc., 2003                      ' )    
H Debug(      *YES                                                )    
H ExtBinInt(  *YES                                                )    
H FixNbr(     *NOZONED : *NOINPUTPACKED                           )    
H Option(     *SRCSTMT : *NODEBUGIO : *SHOWCPY : *NOSHOWSKP       )    
H Text(      'Exit Point Program for QIBM_QZDA_INIT             ' )    
H TimFmt(     *HMS                                                )    
H TruncNbr(   *NO                                                 )
