RE: Main Proc for Subproc not compiling -- RPG400-L

1. The main procedure only needs the prototype(PR) for the subprocedure, not
the procedure interface(PI).  One doing this for real use a /copy to bring
in the prototype so it is only defined once.

2. When you are calling the procedure you are only passing one parameter but
the procedure requires two.

3.  You have defined the return value as being of size 4 although it looks
like you are only passing a size of 1 back.  This isn't causing an error but
it looks inconsistent so I'm pointing it out.

4.  In your subprocedure, why have two different If statements?  Just use
the else for the second condition.
