RE: Convert from CLP to CLLE

["Christopher J. Jewell (Jewell Consulting)" <jewellcj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can just change the source type with no effect on fnctionality. Check
your override commands, however, as IBM changed the default overiide scope
to be *ACTGRP rather than call level: although come to think of it this
could apply to OPMs also.

Unfortunately, IBM did not do a complete job with ILE CL. The CRTCLLE
command does not have any ILE parameters such as Binding Directory or
Activation Group (when I last checked). This means that if you want to use
an ILE feature such as calling a procedure which is in a service program
(using the CALLPRC command), you are forced to create the CLLE as a module
and bind it in to a program with the unweildy CRTPGM or via another bound
program. Generally CL is used as a wrapper, driver or job stream in which
you really want to call into multiple functions, so not being able to call
pocedures from within a bound CLLE Program is disappointing. In fact
SQLRPGLE programs have a similar limitation:you are forced to create
SQlRPGLE modules in order to call procedures: this is even more
disappointing.
