Re: Prototype in RPG/ILE

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Hans,

Aha! So in fact the compiler _is_ already going out and finding the
procedure interface whereever it may be in order to compare it to the
prototypes? I had the impression it was simply using the prototypes to
verify the procedure call parameters without having to find the procedure
interfaces, saving a lot of hunting for the PI specs.
