Ok, I think I'm taking another path. What I'd like to do is call ILE
subprocedures written in RPG from COBOL. The COBOL system is V7R1 (not my
choice.. it's a client).

So I guess now I need to know if it's possible to convert prototype
definitions from RPG to COBOL. As an example:

dcl-pr function_call int(10);
parm1 int(10);
parm2 varchar(65535);
parm3 char(1);
parm4 char(256) Options(*NOPASS);
end-pr;


Then of course I need to find some COBOL source to check out.. .like a
shell program that defines a few variables and calls a function.

The ILE COBOL Programmer's Guide has some mappings betweem COBOL and
fixed-form RPG definitions.
