 >> It did.  I defined the prototype as EXTPROC('MyProc') instead of
EXTPROC('MYPROC').  It worked perfectly once I changed that line.

Although he change you made "fixed" the problem there was a better way.  If
the called module is defined with a Procedure Interface (PI) instead of a
*Entry PLIST then you will get a number of benefits:

1) The prototype used in the CALLP will be validated since it will also
have to be /COPY'd into the called module.

2) Any CONST parameters will be checked to ensure that the called module
does nothing to change them

3) You can use VALUE parameters if you wish

4) You can use a mixed case name if you wish (i.e. Your 'MyProc' would have
worked just fine)

There are probably a host of other good reasons but 4 is a nice round
number!
