Thanks for the responses. I'm new at this (ILE not RPG). I think I
understand more clearly now. There was a binding directory in the H
specs. I looked at it, and within one of the bound modules
'program' was defined as a subprocedure.
There were two giveaways. The absence of an ExtPgm keyword on the
prototype means that the compiler defaults to ExtProc - this cannot
be overridden. In fact it would have been treated as ExtPgm
('PROGRAM'). The second was the N definition for the return value.
_Only_ a bound procedure can return a value. *PGMs can only "return"
data via the parameters.
I would strongly suggest changing the name of the dang thing - giving
a procedure the name of "program" is - to put it politely - just
plain silly and as you now know - it is the kind of silliness that
can waste hours!
