Re: Prototype in RPG/ILE

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

Good point - I hadn't thought about the way they split things up. Actually,
I think CRTBNDRPG does it all - compiling & binding; and CRTPGM just does
the binding. But CRTMODPGM does just the compiling. Still, it no doubt is
more difficult to have the compiler portion go looking for the procedure
interface definition -- far easier to make the programmers /COPY it in and
call it a prototype. Now if that would just get the price of the compiler
down under $100, us poor folks could maybe afford it...of course a sub $2000
machine to use it on would be nice too <G>.
