RE: subprocedure questions

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you read my response to your original message, you'll see what
removing VALUE works.

As to the DFTACTGRP(*NO) keyword, you need that because the extended RPG
IV language features, such as memory allocations, binding, and procedure
calls only works when you are NOT running in "RPGIII compatibility
mode". DFTACTGRP(*YES) is that compatibility mode, so no extended
features are supported.

Subject: Re: subprocedure questions

I think I stumbled on the solution.  I removed all of the VALUE
keywords I had, and now the program works like the original with the
subroutine.  Did removing the VALUE keywords tell the app to use the
same address for the field in both the main module and the
subprocedure?

Silly question:  Why must this be compiled with DFTACTGRP(*NO)?

Thanks, Dan
