RE: Convert from CLP to CLLE

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.
