Re: Dynamically activing bound programs (was RE: Calling a Function from RPG Program having multiple Functions)

Hi Charles,


I don't see anything here that requires the manual activation of a
service program and the use of procedures pointers to call the
procedures.
It sounds to me like Aaron is reading some sort of key from an XML document, using that to look up a service program & subprocedure name in a database, and then handing off control to that subprocedure.
Since he's looking up the names in a database at run-time, he'd have to dynamically call the procedures. 

It was the following paragraph (from Aaron) that made me think that:


PGM1 receives in a request and determines what program should be
called to process the xml based on DB2 entries. PGM1 then "activates" PGM2 SUBPROCEURE1 and "hands off" the parsing of the request and the 
composing of the response.
