RE: Variable Modules

 >> Is it possible to have a variable that contains the *module to be called

You don't call modules - you call procedures ....

But the answer is yes you can.

Use the ExtProc keyword on the prototype and put a variable name in the
parm.  e.g. Extrproc(WhichToCall)

WhichToCall is an procedure pointer and you can load it by doing WhichToCall
= %PAddr('ProcedureA') etc.

There is an example in the RPG Redbook that will give you the basics.  I
have to go back to teaching class or I'd be a bit more explicit.
