paradox ?

folks,

here is somewhat of a paradox:

A system-state program cannot call a user-state program.
How can QCMD or similar system-state programs call one of
my user-state programs? Or how can OS/400 services
(presumably system-state) call user-state exit programs?

The help text from DSPPGM is quite wrong and misleading:

                   Program State - Help

The state of the program.  Valid values are:

*USER
    The program can call user-state programs.
(then how can you ever call an API?)

*SYSTEM
    The program can call user- or system-state programs.
(plainly wrong - cannot call user-state programs)

*INHERIT
    The program runs under (inherits) the same state as  its calling program.
