Re: Parms in a called program

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Avoid this arguement.  Replace all of your *ENTRY with the following:
 * The following procedure interface replaces *ENTRY PLIST
D ChgAutObj       PI                                      
D  OBJECTNAME                                             
D  OWNER                                                  
Page 36 of the new RPG Redbook:
'A procedure interface can also be used for the main procedure, in place
of the *ENTRY PLIST.'
My copy of the redbook is signed by Jon and Susan.

Subject:        Parms in a called program

Does it make a difference where the *ENTRY is in a called program?  It 
seems that if the *ENTRY & PARMS are in the *INZSR they are only read 
once, at the beginning of the program but if the lines are in the 
beginning of the Mainline they are read every cycle?  In other words, if 
we call the program and then RETURN instead of setting on LR, when we call 
the program again the new set of parms don't get passed if the *ENTRY is 
in *INZSR but do get passed if in the Mainline?  Does that seem correct?
