 >> This is OPM behaviour, sometimes called dynamic binding.

Which is also available in RPG IV (ILE)

 >> You use it in RPG via the CALL opcode and parm/plist.  The called
program uses *entry parm/plist to receive and return variable data.

Or in RPG IV you can also use CALLP with a prototype and the called program
can either use *Entry PList or a Procedure Interface

 >> If you re-compile the called program, the caller will use the new
version on the next invocation.

This is only true if the calling program itself has subsequently terminated
with LR on or has been "cleaned up" by a RCLRSC.


 >> You must keep the parameter lists "in synch." though.

Which can be simplified by using external descriptions, or (even better)
using prototypes as mentioned earlier.
