Re: More RPG/Java Questions

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Explain "define all of those prototypes"

RPG will need some what to know the struture of the method
you plan on using.  Without a prototype, how would it know
what you're trying to do?  Same with ILE subprocedures.

If you're using a lot of Java methods in RPG, then I would
question why you're not using one or the other only.  Is the
Java method doing something that could be just as easily
done in RPG, or could it be a Java app alltogether?

Or are you just playing around with the new feature?
