Hello People,

I am in the process of evaluating RPGILE with a team of people (8) 
and I have been having a diffacult time creating a subprocedure.  Let 
me lay out what I have and what I want to do leave the rest to you..

I have a program (pgma) that calls a program (pgmb).  Pgmb receives 
some parms, performs some calculations and returns several values.  
Pgmb contains only calculation specs and definitions.  

So I believe this will make an ideal subprocedure.

I am not sure if I have to use the /copy to bring pgmb into pgma 
after I add the necessary prototype code and I am not sure how to set 
up the parameters.  The example in the programmers guide is not clear 
enough for me or I am very dense.

I have been using the ILE RPG/400 programmers guide and I am not 
haveing any luck completing my task.  So, a simple coding example 
would help me tremendously.
