Rather than create a dummy program, you can simply call yourself (by using
the program name/library from the PSDS) and monitor for the 'recursive call'
error, e.g.:

D PgmToCallName S 21A
D PgmToCall PR Extpgm(PgmToCallName)
D Parm1 10A

begsr forcePgmResolve;
PgmToCallName = %trim( PSDS.PgmLib ) + '/' + %trim( PSDS.PgmNam );
callp(e) PgmToCall;
removeMessage();
endsr;

This avoids the requirement to create a separate dummy program.The
removeMessage() procedure simply removes the ugly 'recursive call' message
from the job log.

Yes, if the value is the same the system does not re-resolve.

Barbara's talked about this before. (check the archives)

But one solution is to create a dummy program that just returns, call
it using the same variable between the calls you want re-resolved.

d MyPgm pr extpgm(wPgmName)
d parm1 10a

/free
wPgmName = 'FOO';
callp MyPgm(bar);
wPgmName = 'FOO';
callp MyPgm(bar); //***NOTE: FOO is not re-resolved
here!
wPgmName = 'DUMMYPGM'
callp MyPgm(bar);
wPgmName = 'FOO'; //***NOTE: FOO is re-resoved here
callp MyPgm(bar);
/end-free

HTH,
Charles
