Using % type functions

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

V3R7M0

I have a program that uses a subroutine to move a variable from
a 6 digit numeric field to a true date field.

It is called in the program like this:

C           Eval   MDYDate = CMDPuR
C           Exsr   MoveMDYToDate
C           Eval   BSDPuR = RealDate

The MoveMDYToDate is a simple subroutine that does a
TEST(D) and if there is no error sets the date using
a MOVE to the RealDate variable, if there is an error
it sets it to *LOVAL.

What I would much rather do is something like:

C           Eval   BSDPuR = %MoveMDYToDate(CMDPuR)

Is this available to me in V3R7M0?  At this time I
am only concerned with getting it to work within a
subroutine within my current program.  After I get
that working well, I will most likely move it out
into a linkable object.

How do I create a % type function?

Regards,

Jim Langston
