Parsing Program Names on a Call.
Program names are specified in factor 2 of a CALL operation or as the
parameter of the EXTPGM keyword on a prototype. If you specify the
library name, it must be immediately followed by a slash and then the
program name (for example, 'LIB/PROG'.). If a library is not specified,
the library list is used to find the program. *CURLIB is not supported.
Note the following rules: v The total length of a literal, including the
slash, cannot exceed 12 characters. v The total length of the non-blank
data in a field or named constant, including the slash, cannot exceed 21
characters. v If either the program or the library name exceeds 10
characters, it is truncated to 10 characters. /FREE // The following
calls ProcName with the 3 // parameters CharField, 7, and Field2:
ProcName (CharField: 7: Field2); // If you need to specify operation
extenders, you must also // specify the CALLP operation code: CALLP(e)
ProcName (CharField: 7: Field2); /END-FREE Figure 150. Sample of CALLP
operation

hi Jon,
I don't follow that... why do you say it doesn't support library
resolution?
Hi Scott,
Originally I thought it did support it - in fact I expected this to
"work":
D Prog pr extpgm(name)
D name s 20 Inz('AA NOTFOUNDXX')
/free
prog();
*inlr = *on;
I expected a failure because there is no library NOTFOUNDXX. But in
fact it resolves via the library list and finds a copy of 'AA' that way.
I couldn't find anything in the manual to indicate that anything other
than a program name could be used on the proto.
