Eric,
Thank you for that heads up. I meant no disrespect. If someone wants to
be called a particular name I should respect that. I, for one, do not like
being called Bob and have been known to hang up on vendors.

Thank you Barb! I wasn't getting exactly how the conditional compilation
worked. Your example was very clear and should be included in the manual.

Rob, what you have is good, except as Anton says, use the EXTPGM keyword
if you want your callers to call this as a program.
I think it's a good idea to put the *ENTRY-PLIST comment right by the PI.
I try to do that too, leave a comment if I know someone (maybe me) will
be scanning for something that I've replaced.
I don't know if it's worth it, but you can keep the prototype in the same
source file and allow other modules to just copy the prototype using
directives several ways. Here's one.
/if not defined(prototypesOnly)
H ...
F ...
/endif
* Beginning of shared source also used for /COPY by other modules
D XYZ123 PR EXTPGM('XYZ123')
D parms ...
* End of "/copy" part
/if defined(prototypesOnly)
/eof
/endif
D XYZ123 PI
D parms ...
/define prototypesOnly
/copy other prototype files
/undefine prototypesOnly
...the rest of your module
Don't forget to code CONST for your parameters when it makes sense.
