Maybe it would be better to parse a compile listing.  At the bottom of the
printout it would tell you all that information in one place without you
having to try to determine it yourself.

You would compile, then copy the spoolfile to a physical file and parse
that.

One of the good things about that, also, is you could define fields in the
physical file you are reading through so easily look for *ENTRY and such.

We'd like to get on the bandwagon and start using the new /free RPG spec.
However, we have a LOT of CALL/PARM opcodes in our RPG.  Since the /free
spec doesn't support CALL/PARM, I understand that I need to convert them all
to CALLP (prototyped calls).  To save me the work of manually creating a
source member with all prototypes, I'm looking for a routine to read thru
the source code of an ILERPG program to find it's *ENTRY PARMs and then
update another source member (a member which contains prototypes) with that
information.  I can easily read the source code to find the *ENTRY parms but
I don't know how to determine the variable type, length and decimal
positions.  Any suggestions?

Dave
