Re: Variable procedure call from CLLE module

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's the QZRUCLSP API -- that's the only way (that I can think of) to 
call a variable procedure name from CL, and it's rather limited.

From RPG you can resolve a procedure pointer (provided that you already 
know what the parameter list is) but you're still very limited.

You're really going against the grain, Jonathan...  procedures are meant 
to be "bound" during program (or service program) creation.  They're not 
meant to be determined at run time.   You might consider using dynamic 
program calls instead of procedure calls...
