RE: What are the benefits of ILE?

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well yeah...

If you use prototyped sub-procedures you also get the benefit of compile
time type checking and what might be a significant performance boost.  If
your subprocedure is in a service program and you haven't changed the
signature, you get the same ease of maintenance you get from a dynamically
called program where you haven't changed the parameters--you don't need to
recompile anything that uses it.

The other thing is that you don't have to use RPG for a module or service
program.  ILE binding doesn't care.

I could just write a called program (RPG, CL, C ...) instead of a
subprocedure
to replace the subroutine. I accomplish the same thing - maintain code in
one place.
