RE: Problems with Prototyping and Calling RPGIII Programs

>>Your "MyPgm" variable cannot be a variable on the ExtPgm keyword.
>>It can be a named constant or a literal.

Why???

The following extract is from RPGIV Reference:
EXTPGM(NAME):
The EXTPGM keyword indicates the external name of the program whose
prototype is being defined. 
The name can be a character constant or a character variable. 
When EXTPGM is specified, then a dynamic call will be done. 

It works for all RPGIV programs that have the same parameter list.
It also worked in the original program version for the RPGIII programs.
This morning we recompiled all affected programs on our test maschine, 
but the RPGIII programs even after recompiling failed with MCH3601
