RE: EXPORT/IMPORT

Hi Rob,

Rather interesting... where did you find the information regarding the
IMPORT you did after calling the system function ?  What other functions
would export (which) data ?

Kind regards,
Paul

On variables or subprocedures?

I use it all the time for subprocedures in a service program.  In fact any
subprocedure in a service program which you want to access outside of that
service program needs to be EXPORTed.  The subprocedures do not need to be
IMPORTed.

So far the only variable I IMPORT is
      * Execute Command (system) Subprocedure Variables
     D System          PR            10I 0 ExtProc('system')
     D  CmdText                        *   Value Options(*String)
Command text string

     D ErrorCPF        S              7A   Import('_EXCP_MSGID')
Error number
I've not EXPORTed any variables, yet.
