Thanks... -----Original Message----- From: Bob Slaney [mailto:rjslaney@us.ibm.com] Sent: May 01, 2002 10:04 AM To: rpg400-l@midrange.com Subject: Re: CALL vs CALLP with EXTPGM Michael, when you specify Extpgm, you are going to perform a dynamic CALL with the CALLP. Yes, the main advantage is that the compiler will validate the prototype to ensure that the parms match in data type/length (and other goodies). Also, CALLP is supported in free form whereas CALL is fixed format only.
