Re: Return variables in CL - Oops

Evan

I guess I would not. Return values via commands are more like input/output
variables. For me, a return value is independent of the parameters passed.

Since variables are passed by reference in CL, you've always been able to
pass back a changed value in a call, IIRC.

And again, I think I'm in error again. What I was referring to is the
return variable you can specify on the CALLPRC command. In other words,
CALLPRC can assign a return code to a CL variable. I guess this does not
mean you can return, independently, a value from a CL anything.

That's what I get for making a knee-jerk reaction.

As a matter of interest would you count using a command with a return value
as a CL program returning a value ? :)

In another post I stated that you can't get return values from CL programs.
That's not exactly true. You _can_ get a return value from an ILE CL
procedure. You cannot get one from an OPM CL program, or even an ILE program.
