No Bob, your idea of ILE is correct, you just have not gotten that far in the
book yet :-).

The example you are experimenting with is just introducing you to the basis
structure of subprocedures.

Yes, you will have the subprocedure in a seperate source (though usually you
will have multiple subprocedures in a seperate source).

To get your original example to work........

Make sure that the procedure has a NoMain keyword on the H Spec.
Compile the procedure using the CRTRPGMOD command.
Create a Service Progam from the module you just created.
Specify the service program when compiling the program.
