RE: ExtProc() keyword confusion

That's what the prototype name is for--to allow you to use whatever name you
want inside the RPG IV program regardless of the true name of the procedure
you're calling.

I suspected that. Isn't there a way to make the procedure name longer, and 
create a more meaningful name (GetTBatchPats)? I thought that's what the 
ExtProc keyword was for.
