RE: Calling Program with a Procedure Interface

IBM's manuals contribute greatly to this confusion by refering to what we
know as plain-old programs as a "main procedure" and what we normally call
procedures as "subprocedures".  I assume this is what the message-text is
referring to.  So, when they refer to a "prototype for main procedure", they
are talking about the PLIST replacement type of prototype and not what we
commonly think of as a procedure prototype.
