Replacing *entry plist

["Jon Paris" <Jon.Paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 >> Realizing that there is no free form version of *entry plist, is there a
way to create another type of parameter interface that CLLE could use?

Yup - use a PI (procedure interface) to replace the *Entry PList.  The
following is a slightly modified version of a PI/PR combo that has appeared
a few times on the list today.  I've lost track of whose code it was!

D getlast               pr            extpgm('PRR353')
d                                     like(ssno)
d                                     like(last)

D getlast         pi
d ssnox                               like(ssno)
d best                                like(last)

The important thing is to make sure that the EXTPGM keyword is specified and
points to the actual program name.  Using a different name on the prototype
means you can have a more meaningful name than PRR353 on an RPG CallP.
Since CL doesn't understand protos, it doesn't help when you call from CL
but ....
