Granted, but really all you need to do is put all of your homegrown 'bifs'
in a binding directory and include in your h-spec. You shouldn't be running
your ILE programs in the default activation group anyway.

Thanks,

I do not understand subprocedures all that well, but I do know that to use
a
%bif I only need to use it.  I don't have to bind, or compile my programs
in
any special way.  For someone on RPGIII, using %bif() is easy to learn.
Using his/her first subprocedure will not be an easy task.



At  least it wasn't for me.

I read that article.  Some good points, some interesting concepts.

Technically I do think IBM allows us to create our own bifs - they're

called subprocedures.  Maybe you can't put a percent sign in front of your

own.  Then again, if it was required it might drive some people nuts like

having to put a semicolon at the end of a free format rpg statement seems

to send some people into an epileptic fit.
