Re: File and Program field definition

Sideline:   *entry plist can be replaced by a PI definition.  See 
page 36 of the Redbook 3.3.2 Procedure-interface definitions.  I 
will admit that I put a comment that says something like 'replaces 
*ENTRY PLIST' for the blokes who scan for *ENTRY with their editor.

 no it didn't define it as a CONST. There is no PI definition, because it
is external pgm with PLIST:

065.00 C     *Entry        Plist
066.00 C                   Parm                    PLU
067.00 C                   Parm                    Value

and variables defined in the programs as:

0021.00 D PLU             S             11S 0
0022.00 D Value           S              5S 0

Does the procedure interface (PI) on the called program defined it as
CONST?

I've got something weird.

1. There is an external program that is defined to the calling program
through procedure prototype as:
54+D GetCoupon       PR                  extpgm('ZED005')
55+D PLUParm                       11S 0
56+D ValueParm                      5S 0

*** note PLUParm parameter.

2. There is a file that has PLU defined as:
0012.00      A            S01PLU        11S 0       COLHDG('COUPON PLU')

3. In the program I call procedure as:
0186.00 C                   CallP     GetCoupon(S01PLU:CouponValue)


4. Compiler gives me an error:
*RNF7535 30      1 The type and attributes of the parameter do not match
those
                   of the prototype.

5. Looking at compiler listing I see that S01PLU field is defined as
packed:
0008.36          S01PLU            P(11,0)

6. This field is defined ONLY in the file and in the program it gets only
referenced.

Does anybody have an explanation for this phenomena?
