RE: CRTDUPOBJ an ILE program

Is there a way to create ILE programs that will be called with *caller if
the calling program is ILE and *new if Calling program is OPM?
If there is not why?   I think this would make it easier to start
programming with ILE concepts.


It's not the destination that counts in life it's the journey. The journey
with the people we love is all that really matters. Such a simple truth so
easily forgotten.

How about this?  First step into ILE.  Programmer adds her first
subprocedure to an RPG IV program.  There's literally only one ILE program
in the application.

Time passes.  Our intrepid programmer has become comfortable with
subprocedures and has written her first service program.  She hasn't had to
touch the top level of the application; just a dozen programs at different
stages throughout the application.

*CALLER puts us in the DAG under these scenarios.  I don't see that as
desirable, but perhaps I'm operating under more obsolete assumptions?

For the lurkers, this discussion should be about choices and trade-offs.
There isn't an absolute answer that will work under all circumstances.
