Re: *Entry to /Free problem

That's not how I read it.  I read it as, if you want to call the program,
the called program must be prototyped with EXTPGM along with calling
program.  Your statement  "I'd suggest keeping it,
since, once again, the goal will be for the caller to be able to USE that
prototype to call your program." tells me that I have to have the called
program prototyped with an EXTPGM, in order to be able to call it from
another program.  I was merely clarifying that, only the calling program
must have the EXTPGM keyword on the DSPECS, not the called program.  If you
want to keep these conformed, then yes I agree, put the EXTPGM in both the
caller and the callee, but it's not necessary to have it in the callee.

So the word EXTPGM has no effect unless you're using the prototype to call
the program.  That's exactly what I said.
