Re: RPG overloading (was RPGV?)

And if this were all automatic, no special keywords necessary, the compiler just determines the type needed based on the parameters passed on the call, that would be even better.

That would definitely work better than overloading in this case!

What would solve this problem would be a new style of pass-by-reference
parameter, where the compiler would create a temporary of the type
required by the prototype. It would assign the passed parameter to the
temporary before the call, pass the temporary to the procedure, and then
assign the temporary back to the passed parameter after the call.
