RE: Calling a Procedure from Another Program

Clarification: I thought if you put the EXPORT keyword on a procedure in
a program that it was available from any other program. I think I'm
reading here that that might be true if the program containing the
procedure is bound into the program that would be calling the procedure.
Is this true?

When Subprocedure live in a *PGM object, they can be called from within
the program object in which they live and no where else.

Subprocedures that live in *SRVPGM objects can be called (assuming
they've been
exported) from other *PGM and *SRVPGM objects.

Your choices are:
1) Move the subprocedure into a service program (would be my choice).
2) Create a module from the subprocedure's implementation and
bind-by-copy to the other programs (poor choice).

I am having a brain freeze today. I have a subprocedure in a main
program that I want to call from another program. How do I do this?
