RE: ILE and Access Paths

That is also my understanding of how most multi modules program work.  I
don't even know how one can call a non PEP module's main procedure.  I
suppose you could use CALLB to do that.  However, that is not a very
clean way of doing thing.

This is totally different than how I've always worked.  I always have
one module that does *not* specify NOMAIN and all the rest of the
modules used in a given program do specify NOMAIN.  By specifying NOMAIN
for a module the RPG cycle code is not generated AFAIK.  At the very
least specifying NOMAIN means that a PEP cannot be created for that
module.  I cannot for the life of me imagine a situation where a program
would be created from multiple modules that do *not* specify NOMAIN,
thereby allowing multiple PEP candidates (and multiple RPG cycles).
AFAIK the RPG *does* "operate at the program level".  Can you give an
example of a program that uses multiple non-NOMAIN modules?
