RE: Error code on extpgm?

from his posting, seems like he is trying to prototype an external program.  I 
think in this case, the const keyword will not take effect if the parm 
attribute in caller match the called pgm.

Parameters with CONST will not be allowed to be modified in the procedure.
The compiler will issue a syntax error. If you ONLY remove CONST from the
prototype and do that after you compiled the procedure itself, you are
tricking the compiler but the procedure will not be changed.
You need to modify the PR and the PI statements, removing CONST from the
parms you want to modify within the procedure.
