This is unfortunate. It's very easy to forget putting that GOTO or RETURN before the subroutine. In many cases the developer may not even note the problem right away. This is going to become a classic trap for inexperienced developers.

This is unfortunate because if IBM fixes this bug, it may break existing programs that depended on this quirk. And we know that IBM tries not to break existing code.

So, unlucky if they fix it, and unlucky if they don't.

Subject: Strange CL problem with SUBR

You need to insert a line GOTO ENDPGM immediately before the SUBR
declaration.

As far as I know, it has always worked this way.

It is not RPG Subroutines at the end of Mainline code. It is CL !

PGM
<declarations>


<do preprocessing for terminal 2>
CALLSUBR SUBR(sndReport)
DLTSPLF FILE(&rptPrtF) JOB(&JOB#/*N/&JOBNM) SPLNBR(&attSplNum)
/*If spool file not active error message occurs, ignore and continue. */
MONMSG MSGID(CPF3309)

GOTO ENDPGM

SUBR SUBR(sndReport)
<get user's email address>
<send mail with attachment>
ENDSUBR

ENDPGM: ENDPGM
