Hi Lim,
 
Hmmm...
 
OK, lets take your procedure prototypes as an example:
d  SndMsg         PR                  opdesc
d  MsgInId                      10    const                            
d  MsgInData                 32766    const options(*varsize:*nopass:*omit)
d  MsgInType                    10    const options(*nopass:*omit )    
d  MsgFile                      10    const options(*nopass:*omit)     
d  MsgLib                       10    const options(*nopass:*omit)     
d  MsgInQueue                   10    const options(*nopass:*omit)     

d  SndMsgQ        PR                  opdesc
d  MsgInQueue                   10    const  
d  MsgInId                      10    const                            
d  MsgInData                 32766    const options(*varsize:*nopass:*omit)
d  MsgInType                    10    const options(*nopass:*omit )    
d  MsgFile                      10    const options(*nopass:*omit)     
d  MsgLib                       10    const options(*nopass:*omit)     

 
 
Within the body of SndMsg you will already have code such as:
d this            DS                  qualified
d msgInId                             like(MsgInId)
d msgInData                           like(MsgInData)
d msgInType                           like(MsgInType)
d msgFile                             like(MsgFile)
d msgLib                              like(MsgLib)
d msgInQueue                          like(MsgInQueue)
/free
 
  this.msgInId = MsgInId;
 
  if %addr(MsgInData) <> *null;
    this.msgInData = MsgInData;
  else;
    this.msgInData = *blanks;
  endif;
 
  if %addr(MsgInType) <> *null;
    this.msgInType = MsgInType;
  else;
    this.msgInType = *blanks;
  endif;
 
  if %addr(MsgFile) <> *null;
    this.msgFile = MsgFile;
  else;
    this.msgFile = *blanks;
  endif;
  
  if %addr(MsgLib) <> *null;
    this.msgLib = MsgLib;
  else;
    this.msgLib = *blanks;
  endif;
  
  if %addr(MsgInQueue) <> *null;
    this.msgInQueue = MsgInQueue;
  else;
    this.msgInQueue = *blanks;
  endif;
 
  // your internal procedure code here...
 
  return your.opdesc;
 
/end-free
 
 
If you move the code to SndMsgQ you can simply remove the check for
%addr(MsgInQueue) as it is now a required parameter. Everything within
SndMsgQ should work. 
 
Now, in SndMsg your whole procedure code will be relagated to:
p  SndMsg         b
d  SndMsg         PR                  opdesc
d  MsgInId                      10    const                            
d  MsgInData                 32766    const options(*varsize:*nopass:*omit)
d  MsgInType                    10    const options(*nopass:*omit )    
d  MsgFile                      10    const options(*nopass:*omit)     
d  MsgLib                       10    const options(*nopass:*omit)     
d  MsgInQueue                   10    const options(*nopass:*omit)     


d this            DS                  qualified
d msgInId                             like(MsgInId)
d msgInData                           like(MsgInData)
d msgInType                           like(MsgInType)
d msgFile                             like(MsgFile)
d msgLib                              like(MsgLib)
d msgInQueue                          like(MsgInQueue)
/free
 
  this.msgInId = MsgInId;
 
  if %addr(MsgInData) <> *null;
    this.msgInData = MsgInData;
  endif;
 
  if %addr(MsgInType) <> *null;
    this.msgInType = MsgInType;
  else;
    this.msgInType = *blanks;
  endif;
 
  if %addr(MsgFile) <> *null;
    this.msgFile = MsgFile;
  else;
    this.msgFile = *blanks;
  endif;
  
  if %addr(MsgLib) <> *null;
    this.msgLib = MsgLib;
  else;
    this.msgLib = *blanks;
  endif;
  
  if %addr(MsgInQueue) <> *null;
    this.msgInQueue = MsgInQueue;
  else;
    this.msgInQueue = *blanks;
  endif;
 
  return SndMsgQ(this.msgInQueue
                :this.msgInId
                :this.msgInData
                :this.msgInType
                :this.msgFile
                :this.msgLib);
 
/end-free
p  SndMsg         e
 
 
So what's changed?
 
1) You've moved your code from SndMsg to SndMsgQ and removed the check for
MsgInQueue being passed.
2) You've replaced the internal procedure code in SndMsg with a call to
SndMsgQ.
 
That's it!
 
You've only got one set of code - now in SndMsgQ.
You've still got your original param checks in SndMsg.
You wont get a signature violation on SndMsg as the prototype hasn't
changed.
You get code in SndMsgQ which you KNOW works.
 
Cheers
