RE: Calling service program procedure from OPM via program wrappe r.

[CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Matt,

I suppose that the RPG wrapper is the better solution, as that way I can
take advantage of the prototypes.

But the QZRUCLSP is kind of slick, I can even use the same name for the
program and the procedure.

Downside is having to having to have this defined:
  dcl  &wNbrParms  *CHAR    4     value(x'00000000')
  dcl  &wRtnFmt    *CHAR    4     value(x'00000000')
  dcl  &wParmFmt   *CHAR    4     value(x'00000000')
  dcl  &wErrCd     *CHAR    4     value(x'00000000')

Luckily, these two procedure don't take parameters.  Trying to do it from CL
with parms would not be fun.
