Yes, this could save a lot. But I have to ask, which language do you create the prototype prompt for? RPG, COBOL, C,... Now for me to create prototype in RPG and provide a source file to copy the prototype parameters from, for our own in house use. Well we only have RPG at our shop. But someone creating utility type libraries to perform certain functions and sell, what language should the create the prompts for? Ok what language should they create the source for is the same question. Most service programs create the parm source in the language that the service program was written in. If you create module, create the prototype source for that module. If you bind it to a service program, put all the parm sources into one source member. If you create a binding directory, put all the source members into a source file. Nice easy to follow and find relationship. Now if SEU can read the Prototype and prompt you in the C specs when you are calling, ifing, evaling... the function, I would be all for it. But I cannot envision it at this time and cut & paste the prototype to where I am using the function, then comment out. Neat but is it really going to add value? Christopher K.

Since the idea of dynamically building prototype prompts did not go over... How about a prototype object similar to the *CMD object whose sole purpose is to provide parameter prompting in RPG (Which in CL I think is the most wonderful invention ever!) What do you all think. I especially would like to hear with the people who normally disagree with me :-) Thanks Eric ______________________________________________ Eric N.
