Re: RFE - Enhance CL/ILE CALLPRC command to support External Programs

I am not arguing that is not legit. My question is why bother.

MyProc2('bye-bye');

What IBM has done for us is the ability to abstract away whether we are
calling a procedure, calling a program or calling a bound in CL or C.

Once prototyped, you just call it as a procedure. l.

Is perfectly legit. You'll see a SEV 00 messsage during compile...
RNF5409 - The prototyped call returns a value which is lost when CALLP is
used.

Unless the procedure name conflicts with an op code, then you need CALLP.

Sorry, why do CALLP when I can simply do.

dcl-pr GetCount ExtProc('CLPROC');
PR_Field1 Char(9)
end-pr

GetCount(Field1);

why do I need CALLP?

dcl-pr GetCount Int(10) ExtProc('Cpro');
PR_Field1 Char(10);
end-pr;

How do I call this using a CALLP? I can't without discarding the return
value.

If I can prototype any call, then I don't need CALLP.
