You can count the number of ILE programs I have written on one hand. And
most of them have been RPG III just in ILE format. I have just gotten into
procedures. And two of those program I pretty much stole and that is the
way they where. The GETMXRCD is how I found it. So I assume you mean why do
they have *entry. And if that is what you mean, I like that because I
am  not making someone use ILE to call the programs. I also understand the
*entry as a new ILE programmer, as a starting point, and knowing what I
have to pass and get back.

What are the advantages and disadvantages to calls versus eval (I think you
have to return something) and CALLP?
I understand prototypes and checking the parms at compile time versus runtime.

I am open to comments on the other source on that page, as I an trying to
learn ILE.
