Re: Parms in a called program

[Paul Tuohy <tuohyp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Booth,

No, it does not seem correct. A *ENTRY PLIST is a declarative, it is not
executable code. Therefore it makes absolutely no difference where in the C 
specs
it is defined. (You could even define it between an ENDSR and a BEGSR!).

If you are noticing a difference in behavior between the definition at the start
of the mainline and in the INZSR, then your problem is elsewhere.

If you are coding in RPG IV, you should be looking at a PI definition instead of
a *ENTRY PLIST. Good examples in the Red Book (and in my book).
