Since in RPG/ILE the CALLP op code can be used with external
programs (via prototype), does anybody think it would be a good idea to
add a parameter to the CL/ILE CALLPRC command so that it could also
support external programs? Would anybody vote for that RFE?

CALLPRC ... EXTPGM(*YES) /* with a default of *NO for backward
compatibility +
and mutually exclusive of the RTNVAR parameter
*/

In the meantime, I decided to stick with CALL in my CL and to
change the target CL to detect blanks passed in these optional parameters
and, if found, use the same defaults as if the parameter had been omitted
altogether. The target CL has been in use for years so changing it to a
service program at this point would be too disruptive.

Thanks, all.

Sincerely,

Dave Clark
