RE: Receive COBOL RETURN-CODE in RPGLE

I think you have been given good answers but I want to warn you about
repeatedly calling a COBOL program.
If you are going to call this COBOL program a bunch of times during the
running of the RPG program you will want to use a COBOL wrapper program as
the initail calling program.

Each time you call a COBOL program you have to create the COBOL run unit
and then destroy it after the program ends.  As you could imagine this can
get very expensive over the course of a long running process.

If you set it up this way you will on have to "build/destroy" the run unit
once.

======================================
I'm embarrassed to even ask this question, but I sure can't find the
answer.

If I "CALL" a COBOL program from an RPGLE program, how do I capture the
value that the COBOL program has returned using the RETURN-CODE variable?
This is an unbound call.

Seems, oh so simple...but the answer eludes me.
