RE: *Entry to /Free problem

 >> A calling program must have the EXTPGM (unless directly bound), but the
called program doesn't need to have the EXTPGM on the prototype DSPECS. 

True - but you should always be /COPYing the -same_ proto.  If you hard-code
you completely defeat the parameter validation mechanism provided by
prototyping.

The reason you need it in the caller is that the default for a prototype
that does not match the name of the program being compiled is
Extproc('UPPER_CASE_VERSION_OF_PROTO_NAME').

Always code the EXTPGM.
