Re: Scope of variables and subprocedures.

Hi Barbara,

I have a couple of questions --

From: <bmorris@ca.ibm.com>
> - scoped names within data structures so you can have subfield A in
>   two different data structures

How do you envision this working? If you're thinking of something like
COBOL, then references to subfield A would have to be qualified with the
data structure name. If that's what you're thinking of, RPG already has it
to some degree with the PREFIX() keyword.



> - variable-type in prototyped parameters

What does this mean? Passing fieldA as alpha one time, then as numeric the
next?
