Subject: Re: newbie prototype question...

Rob,
I created a Physical Source File called QPROTOSRC and in that I created
a member named PROTO_02. This has

     D PROTO_02        PR                  EXTPGM('PROTO_02')
     D  num1                         15P 5
     D  num2                         15P 5

and in my QRPGLESRC I have another member named PROTO_02, also. This has

      /include QPROTOSRC(PROTO_02)

     D PROTO_02        PI
     D  num1                         15P 5
     D  num2                         15P 5


     D  num3           S             15P 5

      /free
         num3 = num1 + num2;
         dsply num3;
         dsply 'DONE';
         *inlr = *on;
      /end-free

but I am getting an error saying..

RNF0273 Compiler not able to open the /COPY or /INCLUDE file; directive
ignored.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Jake.
