Re: Calling a CL program from a free-format RPG program

Yep, that's it...did you try it?

Note in FREE, you don't need to use CALLP
CLProgram(Parm1:Parm2);

Also note that Parm1 & Parm2 are not defined by the prototype. In fact,
you don't even need the name
CLProgram PR Extpgm(CLname)
7 2
5 0

The parameter names in the PR are just for the developer's reference.

So if you're actually trying to pass a variable named PARM1, then it needs
to be defined somewhere else.

Hello all,

I have what probably seems like a simple question but the solution is
escaping me. I have an RPG program written in free-format. I'd like to
call a CL program from this RPG program and send it a parameter. I'd like
to do this using free-format instead of switching back to fixed for the
call. Can I use the setup of defining the CL program as a procedure and
using the EXTPGM keyword or is that only limited to calling an RPG
program? In other words can it be like this?

CLProgram PR Extpgm(CLname)
Parm1 7 2
Parm2 5 0


CallP CLProgram(Parm1:Parm2);


Thoughts? Thanks!

Bill
