Hi Jerry

At 7.1, IBM made the prototype optional for procedures with a code unit. In that case, the EXTPGM or EXTPROC can go on the PI.

In the past, those keywords could only go on the PR - I assume that if there IS a PR, that they can't appear on the PI for that procedure.

Just for the record, I've always included the EXTPGM on the PR simply because I use copybooks to retrieve them (per Mr. Tuohy).

My question, though, since the latest release on which I have worked is V5R4, is "Why would you want/need EXTPGM on the PI?" [If this question was asked/answered previously, I apologize, but I didn't see or understand it.]
