RE: Calling service program procedure from OPM via program wrapper.

I have wrapper programs written in RPG (mostly used from Net.Data). Most of 
them are extremely simple but some of them get as fancy as converting data from 
numeric to character or translating a status code into something that's human 
understandable.

Subject: Calling service program procedure from OPM via program wrapper.


I've got a couple of service program procedures that I also need to be able
to call from an OPM program.

So, I need to add a program front end to both procedures.

My first thought was a CLLE program that used the CALLPRC command.  However,
CRTBNDCL doesn't allow you to specify a BNDDIR to use.

So, I seem to have two choices

1) CLLE module, then use CRTPGM

2) RPGLE bound program.


I'm using ACMS so option 1 requires two objects to be defined, a *MODULE and
a *PGM.  Whereas option 2 only requires the *PGM object.

Seems kind of wasteful to have an RPG program that only has two lines, CALLP
and EVAL *INLR=*ON.

I had wanted to have the procedures and the program have the same name,
certainly don't think I could do this in RPGLE, don't know if it would even
work in CLLE.

How do you all handle this?

Thanks,
Charles
